Bow Tie Blowout

The Guinness World Record for most bow ties tied at once was broken by USC students Sunday at Tie Us Together event at the Columbia Metropolitan Covention Center. USC Dance Marathon hosted the event in support of Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital, Columbia’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

The original idea came from Britton’s co-owner Lucky Levinson, who then brought the idea to Dance Marathon. Britton’s arranged for a Guinness World Records observer to attend, and as of 4 p.m. Sunday, the new record is 820 bowties tied at one time.
