New Event?
Will the 2018 Elk Toss also feature Goat Yoga? The craze has already come to Luzerne County, and it is forecast to infiltrate Montour County later this year.

Outhouse Update
News from the Wagner Farm:
"The outhouse roof is repaired! It is my suggestion that we DO host the 2018 Elk Toss at the Wagner farm. I used 18 gauge metal sheet roofing with a 20 degree pitch South by North. I attached 2 sheets with 6 roofing screws (self driving) into a white pine beam on the north end. The south end is not anchored to code as my ladder could not reach. Instead, I used 10 gauge steel wire to tie the south end down to the white pine structure. In other news, the driveway was ruined by rain the other night, we may need to cancel the elk toss."

Outhouse News
Strong thunderstorms on May 1, 2017, resulted in the roof being blown off the Franz Klingermann Memorial Outhouse. The 2018 Elk Toss is now cancelled because of the wind damage. We suggest attending the Bruno Mars concert in New Zealand instead.
