TRENARY -- People in Trenary are hard at work preparing for this Saturday's Outhouse Races.  This year's theme is 18 And Still Wipin'.

Of course, after this many years, having fun has been fine tuned.

Every year, those who race the cans range from simple one-seaters, to elaborate thrones that look like they should be brought to the "big" wedding in England!

The Trenary Fire Department will be selling hamburgers and hotdogs.  Local bars are stocking up, and several vendors will be on hand to sell a variety of food and craft items.

Unlike most winter events, race organizers hope for a warm, sunny day to bring out the 3,000-5,000 people who usually attend the races.

The festivities begin at noon on Saturday, with the races starting at 2 p.m.  The cost to enter is only two dollars, with cash prizes for the adult teams.
