Beauty and the Beard

Silver Moon Brewing held a fund raiser benefiting COVO (Central Oregon Veterans Outreach), a local nonprofit that is dedicated to helping homeless veterans and vets in danger of becoming homeless. The entire show was put on by COMBS or the Central Oregon Mustache and Beard Society, upon whom I cannot heap enough praise.

There was live music.


A special brew just for the occasion, %60 of the purchase price went to COVO.


This is Cody, office manager for their Bend office, taking a picture of.......

His wife, mother and friends.

There was a pin-up and best beard contest but I couldn't get close enough to the stage for pictures. 

There was a kissing booth. I had to pay $2 to kiss a Marine; Good thing it was for a good cause ( and there were no pictures). In my defense, the Marine was a helicopter pilot.

But that is another story.

All we got from the Pineapple Express that is drowning the West coast was a lot of wind.

Stay warm and dry.
