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.
This year's races are part of the 89th Annual Pioneer Days presented by Bowladium Family Fun Center, and will feature the theme "Semper Fi, Twentynine!: Celebrating 250 Years of the United States Marine Corps." Expect plenty of military flair, laughs, and community spirit.
