Jacobson takes 2nd in Beard Clash

Date:

Matthew "Jake" Jacobson took Second place at the 2022 Beard Clash at the Bottom’s Up bar in Corson, sponsored by the Sioux Falls Facial Hair Club.

“They had folks from all over competing in this contest,” said Matthew Jacobson. “I’d heard about this contest before but it had never worked out for me to actually attend. It is something I’d been wanting to try to enter and I ended up winning second place in the 8-12-inch category.  There were some very impressive beards of all types, some much larger than mine. It was a lot of fun to hang out with people who shared a lot of the same interests and it was nice to raise money for a good cause too. A lot of fun and I’d certainly do it again.”
