    Minn. bikini parade falls far short of record

    MADISON LAKE, Minn. (AP) — Only an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny number of bikini-wearers turned out to strut their stuff in a southern Minnesota town.

    Organizers had hoped for hundreds of women to march Saturday in what was billed as the World's Largest Bikini Parade.

    But the number of bikini-wearing women — and a couple of men in bikini tops — at the Paddlefish Days Parade in Madison Lake fell far short of the world record.

    The (Mankato, Minn.) Free Press (http://bit.ly/Mrt1N4 ) reported Saturday the number appeared to be 39. Women were told they could wear shorts over their bikini bottoms once it was clear the record of 451 was unattainable.

    A majority of City Council members opposed the bikini parade. Some said it was inconsistent with the festival's family-oriented nature.
