Shepherd Sesquicentennial Beard Contest
Michigan’s Village of Shepherd celebrates its 150th anniversary this month. Part of the celebration is a beard contest. Word is that there are about twenty competitors. Judging will take place on the 18th of August and the bearded competitors will march in the parade on the 19th. The contest has its own blog: Shepherd Sesquicentennial Beard Contest. Check it out!
Best of luck to all competitors! And congratulations to the Village of Shepherd on its 150th anniversary!
intricate beard details
It’s amazing to see the patterns and textures of a beard when taking a detailed look. These are two detailed view’s of Paulie’s beard.
happy two million!
At 1:59 PM PDT today, the beards.org photo gallery hit two million views! Counting began on the 26th of January of 2006 when most of the site’s standalone photo galleries were converted to the current system (Coppermine Photo Gallery). The true number of views is actually higher than what appears on the counter at any time because a hard drive failure on the server a while back forced a recovery from an older version of the database. That rolled the count back by several day’s worth of views. The count also does not reflect the total number of image views on the site since January 26, 2006 because some of the site’s galleries are still standalone — including the popular “original truly outstanding beard gallery” — and image views in those galleries are not included in the count. Nevertheless, the 2,000,000 views milestone is worth some celebrating!
Who was lucky number two million? Patrick of the District of Columbia in the USA:
