It’s a crappy job, but someone has to do it and that person is Mayor Peter Brown.

He’s participating in the annual Cochrane Outhouse Races, in a friendly competition with the Mayors of Cochrane and Brooks.

“Cochrane’s Mayor asked me to participate a while back and I said ‘well, I can beat you in an outhouse any day’,” said Brown.

The event takes place on Sunday, August 25th, on Main Street in Cochrane.  Mayor Brown says he’s enlisted the help of Airdrie’s Fire Services to ensure he sits on the champion’s throne.

“I’ve got my buddies over at Airdrie Fire working on something,” he said. “We have a sponsor and they are going to make a donation on behalf of the Fire Department to a charity in Airdrie.”

Banff-Airdrie MP Blake Richards and Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie will also be taking part in the outhouse races.

The festivities get underway starting at 10:00 am with the races going at 1:00 pm.
