The 25th Annual Conconully Outhouse Race proved to be the wildest yet with outhouses with names only the contestants could put together. The course was ice and snow, which caused hair raising excitement on all portions of the race course, with young and old competing for the title of best in their division. Please come again next year for the 26th annual outhouse races and see all the new and exciting fun we will have cooked up for you.
