The high-energy, rollicking sounds of the Hog Slop String Band will lead the attempt for the World's Largest Square Dance. According to the Nashville Scene,
On the evening of July 7th, at 6 pm, a true Tennessee favorite will be introduced on the Public Square in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with Marcia Campbell from Grand Ole Opry Dancers and WSM 650.
