Whoever said the mullet was dead? Here’s PROOF it’s alive and well in Revelstoke
If you thought the mullet — that oh-so-retro hair style — was dead then these photos should make you think twice.
These are scenes from Mullets in Motion, a fundraiser staged at the Last Drop on Saturday, September 25, to benefit forest fire fighter Jeff Scott who has been in a wheelchair since a snowboarding accident in April.
Powder Springs General Manager Emma Kirkland said the event was a hoot — if you don’t believe her, check the photos below — and it raised $18,655.
Organizer Isabelle (Izzy) Lynch sent out a “big thank you to you, Emma, and the Last Drop again, Jessica Craig and Pam Chute our hairstylists, our band Her and Us, and all the amazing people in the Revelstoke community for their support and donations!”
