Outhouse Races @ McConchie's Campground in Galway, New York

On Saturday evening, September 1st, all the Campers at McConchie's Heritage Acres Campground gathered for the Outhouse Races.   The main road was closed to traffic. 

The three competing 

Outhouse Teams 

presented themselves

to the crowd.

Each five-person team has 4 people pushing their Outhouse and an "Outhouse User" who rides inside and performs Challenges.

It's Always A

Full Moon Team:

The first Challenge

is squirming on a

Chocolate Sauce

covered Toilet Seat.

The Second Challenge

is putting on a Hula 

Skirt & placing four 

rolls of Toilet Paper 

on four Plungers.

The Rider steps off the

2 x4 after placing 

the last Roll of TP.

After finding a Potato, (Poop) concealed in a large box...

... the Outhouse turns

 around & rushes

 back to the

Starting Point.

Schitz Ahoy barrels

Balancing on the
