“Tank is full. Thermometer ready. @BigOmaha tickets here I come! #hotorcold.”

Justin Fennert’s preparation paid off. At 11:39 a.m. Saturday, his arrival at the Hot or Cold location was announced with the sound of snapping twigs as he burst through the woods near Zorinsky Lake. With a high five, he secured two tickets to Big Omaha 2014.

Justin beat out competitors from all corners of the city who participated in the third installment of Hot or Cold, a city-wide geotracking game created by our friends at What Cheer in 2011.

Justin Fennert is an Omaha photographer and founder of the Behind The Stache, a project focused on sharing stories of men, their mustaches and the inspiring stories behind them. Justin is currently working on a book for the project with the help of illustrator and Hot or Cold partner Nicolas Fredrickson.

In May, the two will attend their first Big Omaha. Welcome them to the family on Twitter at @justinfennert and @the_letterer.
