Breaking follicle new just in… In celebration of American Independence Day tomorrow a horse-drawn mobile hairdressers will be parading through the town in the morning before setting up shop on the sports field. It is an authentic “settlers” style wagon equipped with authentic blunt hair-trimming and shearing equipment and will be offering discounted GI and prairie style haircuts for young, old, boys and girls, ladies, gents, and sheep plus lice-removal and smallpox cures. They’ll also be selling 1776 period-style hot dogs (made of real dogs just like the settlers ate) and moonshine… and I hear they do bikini-waxes out the back if you ask nicely! It’ll be a great day out for the whole family, so miss it at your peril… Christine Batley. Chief Short Back & Sides Reporter. Beckworth Guardian
