Happy Valentine’s Day all of you – hope there’s lots and lots of love in your lives.

While we’re on the subject of outhouses, don’t forget that next weekend features not one but TWO major races on the National Outhouse Racing Circuit. Absolute Michigan’s February Event Calendar says that on February 23 you can enjoy the Trenary Outhouse Classic – The Outhouse Races (see YouTube video) and The Outhouse 500 and Coopersville Chill 5-K Run (amazingly enough, there’s a video for this as well!).

Think they’ll be filming the next “Pure Michigan” installment there?
