Beard and Moustache Competition, 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, Dickens Opera House, 300 Main St., Longmont, 303-834-9384.

Boulder Facial Hair Club’s second annual Beard and Moustache competition is set for this Saturday at the historic Dickens Opera House in Longmont. The organization expects to see 200-300 competitors and over 150 spectators at the event, which although held in Boulder is open to participants nationwide. Moustache, Styled Moustache, Partial Beard, Partial Beard Freestyle, Business Beard, Female Artistic Beard, Full Beard Natural and, of course, Freestyle Beard are the main categories for the competition. It’s not all about being hairy, there will be live music by the band Strange Americans, and a silent auction that benefits Rocky Mountain Cancer Assistance. The club’s founder and event-organizer Josh Simpson says all are welcome — “There’s certainly no hate on non-bearded people.”
