What's up with all of the hula hoops at Comfest in Columbus, OH?

There's more hula hoops at comfest brought by people than I've seen any where else. Are they popular again and I just didn't realize, or is there something particular about comfest that brings out the hula hoops?

Best answer: I blame the resurgence of hula hooping on Burning Man.

Best answer: We have a local guy, Aaron Hibbs, who broke the world record for the longest hula hoop marathon.

He got quite a few people into hula hooping as well that are likely candidates for also being seen at Comfest.

Hooping has gotten popular again. They now use bigger, heavier hoops. There are a lot of YouTube tutorials on doing tricks.
