Mr. Legs and beard contests

Mr. Legs and beard contests at MS State Fair

Things took a turn for the weird at the Mississippi State Fair on Saturday, Oct. 17, as things at any state fair worth its salt should. Two contests that harkened back to fairs of yore—a Mr. Legs contest and a beard contest—were held near the Trade Mart, and Metromix's camera was there to catch the legs and beards in all their somewhat frightening glory.
