For one weekend in Elk Falls, outhouses are on the ballot.

The Elk Falls Outhouse Festival marks 31 years Friday and Saturday, November 20th and 21st. For $1 at festival headquarters, visitors get a button, ballot, map and schedule. They can tour the decorated outhouses at their own pace and vote for their favorite. Elk Falls Pottery also celebrates 50 years in business with commemorative mugs and T-shirts. The festival includes a quilt show, craft vendors and tours of the 1872 Keefe Homestead.

Bluegrass band Beyond Reach performs Saturday, and a car, truck and motorcycle show runs downtown from 10:00am to 1:00pm. Festival hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm both days.
