Get ready for one of the wildest and most beloved traditions of Pioneer Days—the Outhouse Races!Teams from across the community and beyond will construct and decorate custom outhouses on wheels, then push and pilot them head-to-head down Smoketree Avenue in a fast-paced, hilarious competition. The prize? Bragging rights, glory, and a one-of-a-kind toilet seat trophy designed by a local artist.
