 Do you think you have a beard worth showing off? If so, the Appalachian Center for the Arts is hosting a beard and mustache contest at Hibbley Days 2024. Participants can join the day of the contest with a $30 registration fee. There will be prizes given to first, second, and third places as well as Best in Show. What better way to show off the beards of Pikeville, Kentucky than our Pikeville 200 collaborative celebration of our beard contest and mustaches. So yeah, there's like tons of categories that people can enter. It's going to be a day of entering event. And it's going to be a really good time. Now to enter, it costs about $30 to enter. We're going to be giving out a grand prize for our overall winner. And we have a couple of other prizes for second place, third place, Best in Show, all that stuff. Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James a call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. Short, long, bushy, or tidy, any kind of facial hair is welcome to be judged. Viewers can expect to see many great beards from in and around the state. We have all different categories for that actually. We're going to have artistic choices, length, styles, abstract. I believe with the amount of support that the community and even the states and the surrounding states show to Pikeville during our hillbilly days, we're going to have a great turnout.
