BEARD OFF WEEK 7!

The competition has almost come to an end. Next Thursday, October 27th at 6:30pm we will be having a final Grow A Beard shindig at The Wedge Deep Duece. Anyone and everyone can join us. It will be great fun, we'll pass out the prizes to the winners and bask in our manliness. Here are the penultimate pictures!

Next week we will also post the pictures on Thursday morning and host an online poll to decide our victors. Be here to cast your votes!

Trey "Tyler" Ridlen

You know what's really, really dumb? When you finally realize that you've typed someone's name as "TYLER" for the last few weeks when their name is actually TREY. I'm an idiot, and I do apologize.... That 'stache is finally coming in!

Robert Malmstrom

Two pictures to show the judging crowd the quality. Nice Plaza shirt! #SupportLocalEverything

Matt Byers

Another T&L shirt among the ranks. Excellent choice!

Kyle Vincent

Kyle's email this week was a tear jerker:

"I entered this contest knowing that my genes have completely failed me in the facial hair department. I have always known that I have horrid, patchy, multicolored growth, so I have never really every 'attempted' to grow anything substantial. By entering this contest, I have gone the longest I ever have before...and truly fell I have learned a lot about myself in the process. Chaz Bono gorws a better beard than me...and that is a valuable life lesson learned.

So all ass-kissery aside...Thank you, for having a "beard fail" category in your contest and allowing true failures like myself a chance to become real winners."

JohnPaul Widener

While Kyle was tearing up, JP made a run for it...

"My woman, myself, and my beard...are all that survived."

Jim Pierce

I'm not sure which is scariest.

JD Epperson

JD once won the lottery, the first thing he saw after collecting his winnings was a costume shop liquidation. No more money, but everyday a new persona.

Greg Gilpin

These bearded guys know where to get their shirts, that's for dang sure.

Dru Monk

That's a mighty fine beard, sir.

Clinton "Red Beard" Trench

Less than 2 months...this contest is ridiculous! What do you guys eat?

Chris "DEXTER" Farris

Beards lookin' swell.

Caleb Stevenson

His email said he wasn't, but I'm pretty sure Caleb was tearing up because the contest is almost at an end.

Caleb and Lucian "The Fury" Lack

Lucian-3-PEE-O won't be able to attend our Grow A Beard party next Thursday but Caleb-D2 will be there for sure!

Bryan Mathews

A bearded Mcaully Caulkin from Home Alone.

Brian Pelts

"Now then, I admit when I started this contest I arrogantly underestimated the strength of this field. The Assembled facial hair of this group has humbled me each week, and I consider it an honor to be counted in such great beardly company. Gentlemen, I salute you.

'Merica, FORK YEAH.

- Brian Elizabeth Pelts"

I made two alterations to Brians email, guess.

Brandon Shores

Look Brandon, Imma let you finish, but your beard is the best of all time.

Andy "Don't Sink My" Boatman

Great googly moogly that beard is getting out of control.

Luke Stephens

Luke's beard is occupying his face. Peace Luke.

Kenneth White

Kenneth sent two pictures to show the difference between a 'fluffed' (or what we call a 'loaded' beard in the industry) versus a non fluffed beard. His wife's back got tired while she was taking the pictures so he had to hold the 'loaded' baby in the second...
