Beard & Stache Fest Gala March 6, 2011

Featuring the Bearded Lady Competition
Step right up - Don't be shy! Join The World is Fun at Nectar on Sunday, March 6th at 7:30pm to check out who won the third annual Beard and Stache Fest! Fabulous prizes will be awarded to the top three contestants as well as to the top team of five. But wait, there's more!

As if gawking at 95 of Seattle's most marvelous mustaches and bountiful beards isn't cause enough for celebration, there will be beard-centric performanc...es for your enjoyment! First, be amazed by the spectacular, one-of-a-kind, two-man show: Bearded Rhythm! Bearded Rhythm is the dynamic duo of Seattle's Adam Boehmer and San Francisco's Ryan Calloway.Their partnered choreographies take root in the vintage jazz dance traditions of the 1920's-1940's, but with a modern humor and their own particular follicular flare

After Bearded Rhythm tears up the floor with their Bearded dancing antics, we'll move on to another hairy event: the second annual Bearded Lady competition! Women will compete by donning beards and/or mustaches that they have fabricated out of ANY material - the more creative the better! Any woman can register on site (be there at 7:30pm) and the winning bearded lady will be chosen by audience applause, so be sure to make some noise for your favorite!

Next up is a special un-bearding. A bravely bearded fellow has challenged YOU to help raise $500 to add to the total donation to Treehouse! If the $500 mark is met before his scheduled time, he will shave his beard off and bear all (or at least bear his smooth cheeks...and, no, not those cheeks) in front of the crowd!

After the smoke has cleared (and maybe the freshly shaven hair if we're lucky!), we will present Treehouse with the fruits of Beard and Stache Fest; every last cent will be used to help the foster kids of King County! We hope you can join us for our stupendously beard-tastic, tremendously mustache-ulous affair that is the conclusion of Beard and Stache Fest! Confused but strangely drawn to this hairy phenomenon? Come and be amazed, you've got nothing to lose - it's totally FREE!

Facial hair is not a requirement to join in the fun!
