It sounds like DeSoto County’s mayors have an interesting little competition in the works.

In an effort to drum up turnout for tomorrow’s congressional election, they’ve made a pact that the mayor whose town has the fewest number of voters participating will buy the other mayors dinner. And grow a beard.

That kind of voter-participation contest would never work in Shelby County, of course. I don’t think there’s any way Germantown Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy or Collierville Mayor Linda Kerley could be convinced to grow a beard.
