Here are photos from our trip to Bend, Oregon, to attend the Beard and Mustache Contest. A lot of the men did not have long hair and some were even bald, but there were quite a few longhairs in the bunch.
Enjoy!

Some great shots, Bill, thanks for posting :D
Hi Bill, and Larry or course!Thanks for taking the time to put together that fantastic photo gallery documenting the event.I had no idea what a large event that actually was.Certainly a great turnout and some of the facial hair was just so unusual.Some of those guys must work on their beards and mustaches all year long in preparation for this.Some obviously even longer.Well I have to admit never hearing about an event like that out by me.Glad you guys had a lot of fun that weekend:)Cheers

Wow, what a fun event. I would like to have met that guy with the 8 foot beard as well as Jack Passion. I am going to try to get a bit more involved in the beard community.

Bill and Larry were great guests to share the event with, as were the gang from Fresno's Beard Club. Oregon Public Broadcasting put together this fun little commercial about the event, describing Facial Hair as The Ultimate Accessory!
Check it out:
It shows the parade in slo-mo, and some of the venue.
It was great seeing guys from this board In-Person!
Maybe some of you will "accessorize" sooner rather than later.

Hey Daniel,
That's an AWESOME pic of you -- I especially love the hair blowing a little bit in the breeze, along with that amazing beard of yours!
I know I missed a great event, and am so sorry I was unable to make it up to Bend with Bill & Larry this year... I hope you'll forgive me for bailing! In any case, I still hope to meet you someday. In the meantime, though, I can at least enjoy some wonderful photos to look at!!!
I heard nothing but good things from Bill & Larry when I saw them at the Haight St. fair yesterday -- except I guess the weather was a bit cold & rainy part of the time.
Please also say hello to Steve for me!
Take care, Daniel!
Long Lox (and beards!) 4ever,

Great photos Bill!
I've met the fellow with the moustache "hearts" at the Austin event I went to with Victor. I see a few others from the Austin bunch including Bryan Nelson and Allen Demling.
Nothing like a parade of fur!

Those are some incredible images from the recent Beard Weekend, BIll, -- some of those beards & mustaches are hands-down AMAZING!!!
I hope before I die I get to go to one of these events... Too bad there's no such thing as a National Longhair event of some kind -- then again if there was, maybe that's exactly what would happen to me: I would die and go to "heaven" AT the very event!!
