“Fear the Beard”

For the past two years, Gillespie Hall has participated in “No Shave November” or “Novem-beard” or, as we call it at Central Christian College, “Fear the Beard”. This is an event where the men in Gillespie do not shave their facial hair during the entire month of November. The guys in Gillespie made it a competition. The top winner is whoever can grow the best beard and the other prize goes to the person that grows the worst beard. This year’s winner of the best beard went to Aaron Hoover. Then, the person with the worst beard went to Dean Danner. Unfortunately, there were many contestants that couldn’t make it that evening or had to shave because of sports. This left the judges wondering what would have happened if everyone could have been there. The judges were Rusty Blanchard, Micah Metz, and Professor Mike Craig. Last year’s winner of the “Fear the Beard” competition was Stephen Craig. His judges were Micah Metz, Jacob Kaufman, and Ryan Mackey. All of the judges, both this year and last, are known for having a beard of their own. I think that the men will be looking forward to this competition next year and I can’t wait to see who wins.
