It’s Official – And We’ve Got the Proof!
Were you at the Wizard Safari last October and took part in the effort to set the world record for the longest knotted rope chain made in five minutes? We were confident that our collective effort (9,774 ft., 1 in) was the best ever and today, we got the official notice that the New Birth of Freedom Council is #1.
