Fry Fest will try to break world record for largest Hokey Pokey dance

The Hawkeye football season is only a couple of weeks away, and so is the second annual Fry Fest, and former Hawkeye coach Hayden Fry will be back.

The event will feature autograph sessions with players from the 1960 and 1985 Big Ten Championship teams.

Coach Fry will try to set a new Guinness world record by leading more than 4,400 fans in the hokey pokey. The dance became a post-game tradition under Fry.

Fry Fest organizers say they still need volunteers for the event.

"We need everything from those hokey pokey stewards, those hokey pokey police officers, to hokey pokey cheerleaders, to water sales, to registration - we're going to need about 450 volunteers," said Joshua Schamberger, Fry Fest committee.

Additional shuttles will be available during Fry Fest to help ease congestion to and from the events.
