• Saint John, N.B. holds the record for simultaneous Hula Hooping. According to The Guinness Book of World Records Record Breakers’ Club, 2,010 participants hooped together for two minutes in Saint John on Sept. 21, 1990.

• In the liner notes for the album Gordon Lightfoot: Songbook, Lightfoot reveals that the first song he wrote was about the Hula Hoop craze. Though this song was never recorded, an employee at BMI Canada encouraged him to continue writing.
