The Festival du Voyageur invites bearded people from all over the province to take part in a one of a kind competition, the Beard Growing Contest.
This year, participants can register in one of the three categories: The Festival Beard (clean shaven), the Voyageur Beard (wild and woolly) and the Novelty category (groomed mustache or beard).
Those who wish to grow a Festival beard can drop in at the clean shaven event on December 10th, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for the official shaving. The event will be hosted at Le Garage Café at 166, Provencher Boulevard. Participants will be shaved on the spot and will then have to let their beards grow until the Festival du Voyageur, six weeks later.
