A Relaxing World Record Attempt

Yesterday, students and Gainesville residents made a valiant effort to break a Guinness World Record on Wednesday for the world’s longest massage chain of people. Alas, even though they just missed the 430-mark, the huge crowd at University House - 13th Street apartments had a blast as they dodged raindrops.

Participants got free t-shirts, free refreshments, free massages from Florida School of Massage employees, and prizes for correctly answering movie trivia questions. Gainesville Rock Gym was there too with a rock wall that participants could climb, and Kiss 105.3 was also at the event playing live music with DJ Brett Douglas.
