Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder and that might be especially true when it comes to outhouses.

 The old timey waste disposal systems will be on display this Friday and Saturday in Elk Falls. The Elk Falls Out has become a much-loved event as area residents transform the not-so-portable potties will be transformed into works of art and the public will be able to vote for their favorites. By purchasing a button for $1 at the Outhouse Headquarters in Elk Falls, visitors can choose the outhouses they like the best. More than 20 outhouses scattered throughout the city will vie for prizes.

Also part of the two-day festival is a Quilt show and Harvest Crafts at Calvary Chapel, the Maker's Market downtown at the old gas station, the Prairie Gem One Room Schoolhouse and a variety of food vendors. On Saturday night, there will be a performance of the blue grass band Reach For The Sky.
