To the pleasant surprise and shock of many, Hair Consultant Sarah of Idaho actually attended the 2006 Colorado Guy Festival and was present for the ceremonies related to "Hair Consultant Appreciaton Day" during the Sunday barbeque. Sarah posed proudly beside a decorative cake and many complimented Steve on the length and quality of his long curly hair as seen in the picture below.

Sarah has been largely viewed as a very effective Hair Consultant who has been actively involved in helping Steve with his goal of growing his hair at least halfway down his back. She has frequently called Steve on the phone during the summer and has given valuable advice about hair products and daily hair care routines.

"If I even see you wearing a pony tail, I am going to rip it out," said Sarah, whose domineering personality seems to effective in keeping Steve on track, "You will have me to contend with if that happens. Got it?"

"I am definitely happy with Sarah. It's a peculiar feeling for her to be here, because I am so used to complaining and griping about my Hair Consultant not being here." added Steve.

The list of uninvolved Hair Consultants is quite lenghty. Hair Consultant Ben shunned the Colorado Guy community when he no-showed the 2005 festivies in Arkansas. In 2004, Hair Consultant Phil was nowhere to be found and was subsequently fired soon after for his absence. Lastly, Hair Consultant Alissa (known as "Alamosa Girl") was the first person to insult barbeque participants when she ignored invitations to attend and meet with her friends - the very people who voted for her into the position! Alissa was consequently fired in disgrace.

"It's definitely a new era for Hair Consultants." reflected Kelly in Kansas, who attended the entire 2006 Colorado Guy Festival.

Florida Pete Defeats Sarah In Burp Contest; Sarah Embarrassingly Hurls On Patio Deck

Despite having a wonderful day at the festivies, Hair Consultant Sarah endured a very troubling, and downright humiliating experience when she lost a burping contest to "Florida Pete," the candidate who came within just one vote of defeating her in the 2006 Hair Consultant election.

Pete confidently emitted burps that were louder, longer and more graceful than Sarah, and at one point, Sarah bungled a burp that led to her hurling her beverage on the patio deck as others watched in disbelief.

"Oh it was pretty bad," reflected Steve, "It reminded me of my coffee creamer incident."

As Sarah "yakked" on the patio, Pete remained calm and collected and had the class not to rub in the extremely awkward moment.

Some, however, used the incident as an opportunity to spout their dissenting opinions of Sarah.

"Sarah is a very nice person, but as a Hair Consultant, she is a disgrace!" contended Phil Ladden, an owner of a restaurant in Canon City who has been a vocal support for Pete.

One individual spoke solely on the condition of anonymity. "Like what Phil said, I think highly of Sarah, but as Hair Consultant she comes off as a little too young in a way that makes me wonder if she is up for the job."

Supporters of Pete have contended that news articles have been "slanted" towards making Pete look like a worse candidate that he is. For instance, Pete was mocked and ridiculed for voting for Mike Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election as a young and idealistic man with little life experience, even though he admitted he made a mistake.

"If there has been anything that's scandalous, it's been how Pete has been treated in the Hair Consultant elections." Phil stated.

"You trouncing Sarah in the burp contest has got to get you closer to being Hair Consultant." Scott said to Pete.
