Indeed, we are a bit late in promoting this year’s Beard Team USA Nationals in Bend, Oregon. Our choices were late or never. This notification represents our choice…late.
June 5th, 2010 in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Beard Team USA will hold their national competition. http://beardteamusa.org/nationals/ I have not heard of local representation in these follicular festivities. Disappointing, yes, but also an opportunity for growth in the Wisconsin whiskered community. For beardsmanship is not new in our neck of the woods. It is our lifestyle.
The integrity, creative self-expression and forward-thinking spirit of Wisconsin isn’t just in our beards, it’s in our blood. Though we may not always wear our beards on our faces, within us lies the heart of good beardsmen. There is more to us than the finest waxed handlebar moustaches and expertly rounded Garibaldi beards. We are about action (with a bit more style than the average person). We may not be represented in Oregon this year. Instead, we will cultivate our beards and nurture our moustaches in our home communities. And we will take aim not just for the glory of ourselves on the stage, but for the betterment of our neighborhoods. Let us live as good beardsmen every day. On this day, we declare the mission this group, of each one of our members, to become Useful Bearded Citizens. If you’re with us, let your voice be heard. Join us. If you already are us, our mission awaits.
