NICK EICHER, HOST: It was a whole lot of “business up front, party in the back” at the Pennsylvania Farm Show’s annual mullet competition.

The term referring to hair cut short on the front and sides, but left longer in the back.

The contest included an under-5 category, kids that may be small in stature but big in style, clearly the hairs-apparent.

EMCEE: Mom did not want to cut the curls, this mullet is two years in the making.

So you’re getting the idea what makes for a mullet that’s a cut above. It starts with the length of course, a big factor.

Audio from WGAL-TV:

JUDGE: We love the style, your flair. Do you have accessories? Your presentation…

This year’s Best in Show Mullet? A 10 year old–his costume inspired by the movie “Joe Dirt.” He bested 150 other competitors, so you could call him the mane attraction, and you can spell that two completely different ways and still be correct.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
