The summer of 2006, my oldest son, then 7 begged and begged that we create a themed toilet for the County Fair. At the time, it seemed like a silly idea but his enthusiasm was contagious. He wanted a horse theme (he's a horse rider) and named it Hill's Horses. So our family set about - just 2 days before entries were due to create a toilet utopia called Hill's Horses. After my wife spent hours shopping at the craft store and even more hours sitting in our yard with power tools and hot glue gun, our prize winning toilet was created. 
Much to our surprise, our toilet won 1st place (though it wasn't the Grand Champion - we lost to "Camp Stink-alot"). It was after this, that I decided maybe next year, I would sponsor the contest and encourage more friends and family to take part in this crazy out-of-the- ordinary event. For 2006, there were only 5 entries for the contest....but there are hopes for more in 2007.
