We understand that times are different right now and all we want to do is have some fun with our people. There are a bunch of other on-line/virtual beard camps that have already been popping up. Each one has a different idea. of how they are going to conduct their on-line competition, but this is how we thought it could be the most fun for everyone involved. We didn't want it to be just about the beard and mustache growers. We want to get more people involved-open up our "nook" to the rest of the world and share what we do. We have always been firm believers of expanding the facial hair community and this was our idea to do so. We want to draw in a whole new community so ours may grow and do more for lots of people. We want people to have fun, experience something new, and grow the facial hair community.
