Organisers of the Ballyheigue Beardfest looking forward to the event on November 28.

THE annual Ballyheigue Beardfest is getting closer and around 30 lads are preparing to face the razor on Saturday, November 28 in Kirby’s Bar.

Local hairdressers are on call for the big shave off and on the night there will be a monster raffle and and an auction of signed sports goods including a Man Utd Jersey.

This is the fourth Beard Fest which is hosted biennially and has so far raised just under €43,000 for different charities since it was set up in 2009.

All money raised will be split between the Kerry Cancer Support Group, Kerry Cork Health Link Bus and the Johnny Roche Road to Recovery Fund.

Most people will be aware of the Kerry Cork Link Bus and its facility in transporting patients to and from hospitals in Cork for treatment.

The road to recovery fund was set up to help former Ballyheigue man Johnny Roche in his recovery after he sustained multiple injuries after a fall in his work in Chicago.

Organisers hope to make this year the biggest and best yet  in helping these two causes.

All info can be found on their facebook page “Ballyheigue Beard Fest”.
