4/22/14 - Despite the best efforts of hundreds of people gathered at this yearâs Marshmallow Drop and Moon Glow in Genoa Township, it appears that no world record was set. The Howell Parks and Recreation Authority organizes the event every year, and this past weekendâs gathering included a new activity between the dropping of marshmallows from a helicopter and the nighttime hunt for Easter eggs. Attendees attempted to take a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest bunny hop dance in history. The title was held by a group in Utah, which brought together 3,841 participants for the dance in July of 2007. Despite the best efforts of organizers and the enthusiastic dancing of attending families, it now appears that around 2,000 people participated in the bunny hop this weekend, falling short of the record. Three methods of verification, including a camera mounted on a flying drone, all point to an unsuccessful world record attempt. Organizers say another attempt at the world record might take place at next yearâs event. (TD)
