Mullet mania
Where trucks are lifted, flannel is fashionable and fish fly through the air
By Tony Bridges
DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER
The contestants were all business in the front, party in the back.
They lined up on the stage, side by side, to show off their 'dos. One woman, five men and a whole lotta hair.
The idea was to be the one who whipped up the most noise from the crowd.
And the winner? Well, the winner would take the title.
Best Mullet at Tallahassee's first annual Rednek Gamz.
Southern sport
Yup, it's no joke.
Several hundred down-home folks met out at the county fairgrounds Saturday to drink beer, listen to country music and compete in the kind of sporting events possible only in the South.
Bobbin' for pigs' feet? On the schedule.
Fish tossing? It was there.
Belly-flopping in the mud pit? They did it.
Even something called the "Plumber's Crack."
"It's far more successful than we'd ever imagined," said Big Woody Hayes, on-air personality for the main sponsor, country station 94.9 FM.
In between the events, spectators and competitors mingled in the shade, steeping in the aroma of grilling meat.
Men wore their ball caps down low over their eyes, and pulled cigarettes from the rolled sleeves of their T-shirts, while women in camouflage tank tops and miniskirts two-stepped under the trees.
They sipped from plastic cups, under Confederate flags flapping in the hot breeze, and watched jacked-up trucks roll across the horseshoe field.
Just bein' neighborly. Until game time.
Measuring mullets
Hayes emceed the mullet contest.
He took the stage with a mike in one hand and a bottle of Southern Comfort in the other.
The contestants formed a line beside him.
"Remember, it's all by your applause, folks," he said.
Each mullet competitor got a chance to take a turn on the catwalk, then it was judging time.
The clapping was fairly subdued, except for mullets No. 2 and 6. They were just about even.
"All right, we're gonna have a mullet-off," Hayes said.
All but the two finalists left the stage. More clapping, some loud cheering. And a winner.
Mary Ann Hutchinson, 45, from Quincy. Hutch, to her friends.
She was sporting about three inches of spiky black hair on top, and a lot more of it down the back, over her collar.
She'd entered with her boss, Keith Brown, the owner of Badcock Home Furnishing Center. He'd dared her.
"It's the first thing I ever won," she said. "And I wasn't even drinking. How 'bout that?"
But that hairdo, one she's had nearly 25 years. How'd she get it?
Well, that's another story.
And according to Hutch, it starts out:
"We were sitting around the house one night, and we was drinking."

Sorry about the photo's size guys, but in this instance I thought it was appropriate as it fully captured the utter hilarity that is North Florida entertainment.
Take a gander at the 'lady' who won Best Mullet in Show!
This kills me, it really does!
