No Shave November



The shoe movement, TOMS, has started Movember (TOMS with little moustaches that raise awareness of cancers that specifically target men.) Currently we are celebrating Snovember in Bluefield. As folks were putting the last of the turkey on a sandwich for their paper bag lunch this morning, we were scraping ice and snow from our windshields.

On top of Snovember at Bluefield, the college has been celebrating No-Shave-November. Male students, faculty and staff have been competing to see who can grow the fullest, most manly, amazing beard possible. October 31st they had to shave their faces down to a baby soft consistency. They were not to bring a razor to their face lest they be disqualified. Tonight they are judged and the winner shall be crowned.

You might ponder, “What does the winner receive?” Glory. And a sweet participation t-shirt.

Remember at Bluefield College: When it grows cold, our beards grow bold.
