Video: Beard and Mustache Madness
As part of Albany's Fourth of July celebration, residents competed in a beard and mustache contest.
An apparently popular growth of facial hair took top honors Sunday in a beard and mustache competition at Albany's July 4th celebration in Memorial Park.
The winner among the three contestants -- selected by the loudest applause from the audience -- was Gabe Baracker of Albany.
The prize? A free haircut. It is unclear whether or not a beard trim is included.
