Handshake Hero Blocked at State Fair | Minneapolis News
Description
A congressional candidate in Minnesota tried to break a world record for handshakes at the State Fair—aiming for 15,000 in eight hours to unite voters—but was shut down by officials for violating rules against soliciting. Though he was denied the big record, he still managed 57 handshakes in 17 seconds, calling it a personal best. The fair requires licenses for anyone conducting business on-site to maintain order. Undeterred, Little, running for Minnesota’s Second Congressional seat, plans to reattempt the record elsewhere, using the stunt as a campaign tool to connect with voters and show Minnesota pride.
