Wooden Shoes World Record Attempt

Bobby Guy to join in attempting to "Klomp the Record" and set the mark for the most people dancing in wooden shoes.

Already the largest Tulip Festival in America, Holland, Michigan's Tulip Time klompen dancers want a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Bethany Christian Services is attempting to break the world record for the largest number of people simultaneously dancing in wooden shoes.

The attempt will take place downtown Holland at Centennial Park, 250 Central Avenue on May 7, 2015 at 7:15 p.m.

Anyone can join! Registration is only $5 and you get a commemorative t-shirt.

Over 3,000 dancers are need to break the record, which is currently held by Pella, Iowa.

Pella, Iowa?

I grew up in Holland where Tulip Time is a BIG deal. I marched in every parade I can remember from the times I carried the banner for my sister's baton twirling group (The Sailorettes) through middle and high school band.

No way this record belongs in Iowa.

They make windows in Pella. In Holland we make, well...office furniture and pickles, but that's not important.

So, I'll be suiting up in my old costume from 1984(?) and joining those attempting to restore the record to the Tulip City where it belongs.

Like they say in my hometown "If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much."

Wooden shoe want to be in the Guinness Book?
