Long Wisconsin snake dance falls short of world mark
About 2 560 participants joined the University of Wisconsin La Crosse snake dance on Thursday. The tally was 817 below the 3 376 world record set last year at Bowling Green State University. Organizers said the event could count as a state record, passing Murphy Library before returning to Memorial Stadium. The line, expected to take two hours to pass the library, finished in 45 minutes, leaving some late arrivals unable to join.
