Morehead City, NC (WFN) -- Organizers at this weekend's 29th annual Bald Is Beautiful Convention in Morehead City, North Carolina, say they're making headway with their plans despite low turn out last year.

That's according to the founder of the Bald Headed Men of America, John T. Capps III, who has been spearheading the chrome dome convention for the past 29 years.

Capps says attendance took a hit last year following the Sept. 11 attack just four days earlier -- only 25 baldies showed up.

This year, he expects to see the head count back up to its usual 100 or so conventioneers.

Although the convention is on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Capps is confident folks will once again take a shine to the bald headed ball and promises "America will laugh again."
