SALT LAKE CITY -- Snowbird's 43rd annual Oktoberfest Celebration is underway, and Saturday's festivities featured some fancy facial hair as participants competed in the second annual Beard and Mustache Competition.

The annual Oktoberfest celebration attracts more than 60,000 visitors to Snowbird each year, according to a press release from event organizers, and there will be events at the resort each Saturday and Sunday through October 11, as well as on Labor Day (Monday, September 7.)

Saturday, the Salty Saints Social Club teamed up with Snowbird for the second annual Beard and Mustache Competition, which raises funds to support outdoor recreation for veterans as well as adults and children with special needs. The contest had categories that included freestyle, styled mustache, natural mustache, full natural beard and so forth.
