So, this is how it started...

The first Anniversary Parade in 2006 (125th Anniversary) was followed by the Port-a-Potties for the Festival the next day...

The Great
Outhouse Float Contest - West Union, WV
 

Zinn's, Inc. has been kind enough to end our Parade each year since...  AND provide a judge for our Outhouse Float Contest
And the Winner of the first  Outhouse Trophy and Savings Bond... Britton Gospel Mission Church - with their Honeymoon Chapel Outhouse entry

Outhouse Floats are displayed on Main Street during the Festival (Great Photo Ops!)
