A Neosho man is a finalist for the 2021 Most Talented Beard in America contest

NEOSHO, Mo. — A southwest Missouri man is in the running for a unique honor.

Neosho-native, Daniel Shilling, is a top-10 finalist for having “the most talented beard in America.”

The competition is sponsored by the Wahl Clipper Corporation.

Shilling saw an ad for the contest on social media — and, with the help of a band mate — made a video and sent it in.

“Mindlessly scrolling Facebook and looked down and said if you have a beard and a talent, you should enter, through Wahl Grooming, and so I thought well they may be giving away some clippers or something and then I clicked on it and it said you had a chance to win 20 thousand dollars,” said Daniel Shilling, Contest Finalist.

Shilling and his band are performing in this weekend’s “Carl Junction Bluegrass Festival.”
