Additional Information

Hall County, Nebraska celebrated its 75th anniversary in July 1932. The local whisker club, which was founded earlier that same year in order to promote the anniversary, celebrated with a whisker contest--in other words, a contest for best facial hair. Out of over 2,100 club members, seven winners and twenty-one honorable mentions were chosen.
