Locks on the line 

MOTHER and daughter duo, Carol and Kellie Knight are gearing
up to take part in the World’s Greatest Shave.

Tonight Carol will undergo the
clippers at the Swan Hill Club and should she raise in excess of $1000, daughter
Kellie has agreed to cut 30cm off her luscious locks to make a wig for someone
in need.

While Kellie remains a little apprehensive in the lead-up to
tonight’s event, Carol is no novice when it comes to braving the shave.

In
the last five years she has participated in the World’s Greatest Shave three
times, having first taken the plunge in 2008.

With giveaways, quizzes,
hair colouring and shaving taking place throughout the night, Carol urged the
wider community to come along and enjoy a fun-filled evening.

The event will
take place at the Swan Hill Club tonight, after the members’ draw.
