Grab your suit: Winner of Rafi look-alike contest in Phoenix will win $2,500

On June 25, Welcome to Arizona and Rafi Law Group are holding a Rafi look-alike contest in downtown Phoenix.

Last month, I covered a hot-dog eating contest at Sidewinder in my newsletter. I have possibly an even weirder event to share with you today.

On June 25, you may see lots of people in suits and neatly trimmed (or drawn-on) facial hair in downtown Phoenix.

That’s because Welcome to Arizona and Rafi Law Group are holding a Rafi look-alike contest.

Who is Rafi, you may ask? Look up while you’re driving on a Valley freeway and you’re likely to see his face. The accident attorney is known for his prolific billboard advertising, to the point that he has become a local meme.

The contest will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on the ninth floor of X Phoenix. The prizes are $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for second, and $1,000 for third.

I saw someone cosplaying as Rafi at Phoenix Fan Fusion and it brought me great joy. I hope they turn out to the contest and make some money!
