The rules were pretty simple... the Outhouse had to be built for the occation, had to be on wheels so that it could be raced with. Each team were 4 persons strong, and one of the 4 had to be a woman. AND one person had to sit on the "throne" during the race. There were 3 competitions. The best looking outhouse. The funniest Outhouse, then of course the main event... the speed. Each team raced around the town hall 2 times becore finish line was reached. The local Catholic church got the price for the best looking outhouse. Father Francis had designed it, and was the "throne sitter". But good look didn't help them in the speed contest. *g*
