BEARD AND STACHE FEST 2010

In the time honored tradition of gentlemen growing hair on their faces, it's BEARD & STACHE FEST 2010 time again. Let's spend the month of February celebrating facial hair (on men) and raising sacks of cash for Treehouse, and the foster kids of King County.

Teams from all over the city will participate but this year, Blackbird has a team of our own! All the guys had their pictures taken and we'll post those once they are published.

How can I donate, you ask?! All it takes is a dime, a quarter, a buck...any loose change you have lyin' around. Just drop into Blackbird and pick your favorite beard or stache pictured on a can, and drop in your contribution, as many times as you wish! Each team is trying to gather as much money as possible by collecting your donations. There will be many more events happening about town in honor of this festival and cause as well.

Here are the voting locations:

The main event kicks off tonight, 8pm at Blue C Sushi in Fremont. This will be the only time where all the participants cans and photos will be seen in one venue!
