Cool, Australia has beat the US record with over 500 15 minute massages given in one setting by trained professionals. We are challenged!

We probably will have enough there to break the record but if that is decided, we'll wait and shatter it with next year's crowd and the record keepers there. Anyways, this year we have a vendor, from Las Vegas, that will be telling us about his world record efforts.

Good on Australia.....I wonder how much planning that took to pull off. So Mike - how many therapist's plan to attend the fest in Berea? Perhaps, the record can be returned - although with the difference in population size - we should have about 2,000+ therapists to make a decent showing.....

I agree Samantha! We need to keep massage in the public eye. I know a lot of folks could care less about the record but want massage to be in the news, for good things, more often.

Congrats for them! Any great massage news like that is great for us all as a whole in my opinion.
