Judging is 7:30 p.m. June 5 at Pioneer Days.
CLOVIS — Mustache March is over, and it’s time for local men to step up their facial hair game.
Clovis Pioneer Days offers the opportunity to strut your scruff in the 2017 Beard Competition.
Organizer Renee Wilson said judging is scheduled to take place at 7:30 p.m. on June 5.
But you better start growing those beards now if you hope to be named most bearded, best groomed or most creative.
The masters of manscaping will be judged by a panel of six community leaders — three men and three women.
The $15 entry fee goes toward cash prizes with amounts to be determined.
Wilson said she was inspired to revive the competition after reading about one from the 1977 Pioneer Days festival.
“It just seems like a really fun thing to do,” she said.
As usual, Pioneer Days offers several days of activities.
Wilma Fulgham said the theme this year will be “Cowboys and Cam,” as a nod to the area’s history and its 10th year of Special Operations at Cannon Air Force Base.
The Pioneer Days Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo runs June 1-3. The annual Pioneer Women’s Breakfast is June 2, and the annual Pioneer Days Parade is June 3.
Deadline to enter the beard-growing contest is June 2. To enter, contact Wilson at 575-749-3069 or Samuel Martinez at 575-749-9135.
