Officers Get Last Shaves at Lucky Dog for Brad Fox 'Stache Bash [UPDATE]

Dozens of officers said goodbye to their facial hair, including Deputy Chief County Detective Sam Gallen, who has been sporting his mustache since 1979.

Editor's Note: The venue of the May 10 Brad Fox 'Stache Bash has been changed from the Spring Mill Fire Co. to the Lu Lu Shriners Temple, located at 5140 Butler Pike.

Dozens of law enforcement officials from around the county were at the Lucky Dog Saloon last night to get their last clean shave before the Brad Fox Stache Bash – a month-long fundraising effort for the family of fallen officer Bradley Fox that will have officers sporting their most creative ‘staches.

The 'Stache Bash is organized by Pymouth Township Police Sergeant Rocco Wack, in conjunction with the Plymouth, Whitemarsh and Conshohocken Police Departments.
