Today was the Philadelphia International Dragon Boat Race, and you couldn’t have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect and our team, Friends of Linda Creed, had our best performance ever, qualifying for the B division for the first time.
There’s a good deal of free time between races, and so I decided to take a walk past all of the competitor’s tents. It’s quite a festive atmosphere, with lots of food, games of cornhole, and decorated Porta-Potties.
That’s right, decorated Porta-Potties.
Surely one of the most disgusting (but useful) products ever developed, there were dozens of Porta-Potties throughout the Athlete’s Village. Some of the Porta-Potties were public ones, and some of the teams rented their own.
It was these private Porta-Potties that caught my attention, because many of them were decorated. Someone told me that there was actually a separate competition for the best decorated Porta-Potty, and some of the teams took the challenge quite seriously (and humorously).
Here’s a gallery of the decorated Porta-Potties. I admire the creativity of these decorators, but to paraphrase President Obama: “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper … it’s still gonna stink.”

It’s cool that you can decorate your porta-potty to make it more entertaining. My sister has been telling me about an event that she wants to host soon, and she wants to make sure that a portable toilet doesn’t ruin the atmosphere. I’ll share this information with her so that she can look into her options for professionals who can help her with this.

that sounds like a good solution. maybe porta-potty companies should make their items more visually appealing to start with!
