World Beard Competition

Ever since we have known our dear friend, Jeremy Beard Miner,  he has been "obsessed" with beards.  Well, it is his middle name.  So, this past weekend was one of the big highlights of his beard career (i say that in wonderment if he will ever retire, according to his wifes wishes).  It was the WORLD BEARD AND MUSTACHE competition.  And when i say world, i mean the WORLD!  There were hundreds upon hundreds of crazy staches and beards from all over.  And the crazy part is that it was here, in little ol' anchorage!  I met up with Jeremy's wife Laurelyn and we actually ended up in the parade downtown, sporting our unfortunealty freshly shaven children, no beards there.  
This here is Drew Danbury.  He is a musician, mainly in Utah i think. I saw him at a cafe in Pocatello once and loved his music.  So i knew he was coming this weekend to play at the beard show, but didn't know he was IN the beard show.  I was standing on the lawn with my friend Laurelyn surrounded by hair everywhere, when i look over and this is the exact view that i see.  It was recognition at first sight.  So needless to say i had to say hi. Laurelyn took a picture of me and him together, haven't gotten it yet.  Today at church though, Jeremy told me he saw Drew again yesturday and talked to him.  He told Drew i was his stalker.  Thanks Jeremy, i can always count on you!
Here are some of the more wild beards
