Sponsored By: Hair Xpressions In the early days of festival different ways to get the communities involved on a personal level were being thought up by way of friendly competitions, one such competition was the Beard & Mustache Contest. In this contest you can compete against your friends, neighbors & even family members. This contest has several different categories such as Best Beard, Best Mustache and Best Overall. It's a contest that's as much fun to participate in as it is to watch. Prizes have included trophies, t-shirts and cash. This contest takes place Saturday afternoon during the Festival in the Entertainment Tent. 5 PM on Saturday in the ABC 57 Entertainment Tent
