  Largest clog dance - world record set by The Pella Tulip Festival

  The previous Guinness world record for the Largest clog dance was set by 475 people in The Netherlands in 2006.

   Each year during the first weekend in May, Pella, Iowa celebrates their Dutch heritage as dancers perform in wooden shoes beneath windmills and the air is thick with the smell of baked goods for sale.

    Some dancers stuffed their wooden clogs with sponges or wore thick socks.

   Event co-ordinator Sallie DeReus said people were inspired by a newspaper article.

    The participants, wearing wooden shoes and performing a simple Dutch dance, surrounded the downtown square and beyond, holding the dance for five minutes.

   Amy VanHaaften, who served on the steering committee for the wooden shoe dance, was amazed at how successful the event turned out.

  “I can remember having some meetings earlier this winter, and we were like ‘Oh, will we ever get to 500, will we ever get to 1000,’ and just as the time came closer and the numbers grew and grew, we just never, ever imagined that it would be this successful,” said VanHaaften afterwards.
