2010 Nationals
“. . . the most fun I’ve had in my life.” — Nicole Fisher
“Bend loved the event. Beard Team USA was the funnest and most appreciative group we’ve ever hosted in Bend.” — Doug LaPlaca, President, Visit Bend
“Jack Passion is a rock star.” — Tim O’Neil
The first ever Beard Team USA National Beard and Moustache Championships held in Bend, Oregon on June 5, 2010 were a huge success. Over 200 beardsmen competed in front of countless screaming pogonofans and media in an over-the-top celebration of facial hair. “Organized like a beauty pageant for hairy people with a sense of humor,” says Jennifer Longboard.
Bearding pioneer Willi Chevalier of Sigmaringen Germany, took home $1000 for his perfect score in the freestyle division. Other $1000 winners were Larry McClure (moustache), Toot Joslin (partial beard), Aarne Bielefeldt (full beard), and John Szeszen (contestants’ raffle).
Two-time full-beard-natural world champ Jack Passion served as emcee. Judges included Miss Oregon CC Barber, Captain Harry Lewis, former full-beard-styled-moustache world champ Burke Kenny, and Sirwan Singh who has the longest beard in the world according to Guinness.
