I have to give credit to the burly guys that can grow a big bushy beard. They really can be a sight to see. And now, at least one company is making them even more flashy with holiday beard ornaments.
If you see some people walking around town (or here at the radio station) looking a bit more scraggly than they normally do, don't worry! You haven't missed the NHL playoffs yet and Gilette hasn't gone out of business. They might be taking part in a fundraising effort called 'No Shave November' .
I didn't know there was such a thing. But it's a fairly new event - in just its second year - the National Beard and Moustache Championships. It took place over the weekend in Lancaster, Pennyslvania.
Around 200 contestants from all over the world showed up to compete in five categories:
Moustache
Partial Beard including sideburns, Van Dykes, goatees and soul patches.
Groomed Full Beard
