This was one of those unique entries. Rumor has it that many a high stakes poker game was played in the outhouse. Beer was brought in and the players never had to leave to go to the bathroom. Naturally, a royal flush took it all. |

"Trenary Wood Products" was disqualified for "use of mules". It was built with real shingles and shakes, so it was very heavy. |

| Here is a clear shot showing the use of mules. The rules must state that the Outhouse must be pushed by people in the race. |  | A mule pulling the Outhouse Photo from Patty the Painter |

This outhouse was well constructed. It was made to have that well weathered look. |

| This is an authentic "stump" Outhouse. It was to be used as a deer blind after the race. I wonder if any deer ventured close? |  | Authentic Stump Outhouse Photo from Patty the Painter |

The "Wild West Wee Wee" had "Western" pushers. People dress the part to push often. |

| Look! Here's one of the original "Pushers". The Trenary Tavern definitely gets my vote here. Note the person standing on the ladder. It looks like the official starting line and race starter. |  | Wild West Wee Wee Photo from Patty the Painter |

The Munising Flower Shop had a very unique entry as shown here. I wonder if it smelled good? Don't forget; Many outhouses have flowers growing nearby. |

In my opinion, this is quite a unique outhouse. Even more unique is the inside as seen in the next picture. |
