Garrettsville – On Saturday evening the Great Gathering of the Beards – Beard Battle 2022 was held at Slim & Jumbo’s in Garrettsville.
Presented by The Barber of G’ville and The Ohio Bearded Sinners Beard Club, a great evening was had by all as men showed off their beards, while the women and children showed off their creativity as all competed for the coveted Best of Show trophy created by Matthew King.
In a matter of two hours this charity event raised $1,500, which will be split between Hiram Farm and the Garrettsville Farmers Market. In addition, the 50/50 raffle brought in $295 of which half went to Bearded Sinners Beard Club of Ohio.
Thank you everyone that attended, donated and those that competed!!
