The Black Forest Festival Outhouse Races are a local favorite!

According to a source cited by the Black Forest Community Club, the races date back to 1976 when those that lived in Black Forest wanted to host a watermelon feed in a nearby empty lot. “The problem with the site was with all the beer and watermelon that would be consumed, there would be a dire need for toilets.” This was when someone suggested that they move the two outhouses, which had served the community center for years, to the location of the celebration.
And the Black Forest Outhouse Races were born!
