Beardtoberfest Adopts Star Wars Theme

During the second official Beardtoberfest planning Cape Beard decided to go with a Star Wars theme, gifted to us from the Savannah Beard Club, and started numbering the Beardtoberfest events accordingly.

First Bearded Beauties & Dunk-A-Beard

2014 saw the introduction of two new events to the Cape Beard charity repertoire. Bearded Beauties showcases some of our members crossdressing and performing to raise money for charity while Dunk-A-Beard allows families the opportunity for fun during the hot summer days!

Rosa RodriguezPig Pickin' 2019

#Beardtoberfest was so much fun. I can never seem to find the words to describe how I feel when I attend a competition. I am always a little nervous because I am socially awkward. My camera serves as a security blanket. The nervousness almost always goes away when I see a familiar face. Then I fall into my element......photos and facial hair. Here is the first album. I got some good shots. Please feel free to share the album/photos. I would greatly appreciate your help in getting all of the photos tagged. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
