Overview
- About 150 competitors performed before more than a thousand spectators in Harrisburg on Monday.
- Ten-year-old Drew Fleschut of Dallas, Pennsylvania, took the top award with a Joe Dirt–themed look, receiving a prize fashioned from a Corvette’s rear bumper.
- Judges assessed hairstyle execution, use of props and accessories, stage presentation, and overall commitment, emphasizing a lighthearted, community spirit.
- The contest features categories such as children under 5, throwback styles, and the Flow of Freedom award, and it is one of the few Farm Show competitions open to non-residents.
- Seven-year-old Ben Barley was among the young entrants, as coverage also notes the hairstyle’s pop-culture roots and the wider scene of mullet contests, including Australia’s Kurri Kurri festival and the USA Mullet Championship that raises funds for veterans and offers $10,000 divisional prizes.
