Our journey to Bend, OR, has been a beautiful one. Devin, Curtis and I just finished hiking the Deschutes River Trail before we ventured over to the Deschutes Brewery to meet some other beards. Later tonight, we’ll be going to the Old Stone Church for the official welcoming party.
The people of Bend have been awesome. While on our hike, several have welcomed us and wished the beards good luck. I think my favorite phrase of the day is, “are you here for the beard competition?” and Devin replying, “there’s a beard competition here?”! It’s funnier every time we hear it.
The festivities coordinated by the Beard Team USA and hosted by Jack Passion begin at 2pm tomorrow. Help spread the word and support our local Springfield beards, Curtis Claybaker and Devin Cara!
