Part of Farmer's Fair, the
"Whisker King" contest dates back
to the first Farmer's Fair in 1916.
While there has been objection to
this contest because it makes the
men unsightly, the 1953 Farmer's
Fair Board decided to have the
contest in preference to breaking
tradition.
Don Leising, Farmer's Fair
Board manager, said, "The coeds
will just have to put up with
whiskery boy friends. Besides, it
should make the men look like
real he-men."
The winner of the contest will
be presented with the Goddess of
Agriculture at the Cotton and
Denim Dance, April 24. Vince
Kramper was 1952 "Whisker
King."
Judging of the "Whisker King"
was done last year by Mortar
