Hair today... gone tomorrow :)


Chris Wisted, 10, left, shaves his father Eric's head, which has not been cut in three years, after starting on his beard, Monday at Winona Senior High School. Several weeks ago the coaches of the Winona Area Youth Wrestling Club challenged their team that if 16 players made it to regionals the coaches would shave their heads. The challenge paid off when 20 young wrestlers made it, including Wisted, who admired his barber skills saying, "Dad you look like a different man." In total, eight coaches and fathers had their heads and shaved by the team. (photo by Katie Derus/Winona Daily News)
