The event, featuring portraits of civic leaders with digitally added mustaches, a public shaving, live music and food was a fundraiser for the museum and the Autism Center of Tupelo.
Kit Stafford, curator of the museum, called the event a fun way for the museum to interact with the community. “It’s a chance to have fun raising money for two worthy causes, and it proves we don’t take ourselves too seriously," Stafford said.
