Who hasn't dreamt of one day becoming a prince or princess?
Well, unless you're Kate Middleton, that dream probably hasn't come true just yet. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't have your very own throne anyway!
That's why the 2011 Ohio State Fair has extended the deadline for its "Decorated Thrones" contest to July 13!
Ok, so maybe a toilet wasn't exactly what you pictured when you were a little kid. But you can use your imagination, along with any decorations you want, to make your throne truly fit for royalty, or just your personality.
On July 28, Five Star Plumbing and Drains will provide the thrones / toilets for a maximum of 12 - 15 participants, who will have two hours to decorate their porcelain privies however they wish, from 2 pm - 4 pm.
The thrones will then be judged and displayed throughout the Fair at the DiSalle Creative Arts Center.
First, second and third place winners will be awarded. The winner will receive $100 ($50 of which will be a gift certificate to Home Depot) for their crowning achievement.
Click here for more details, or contact the Entry Department at 614-644-4052 to enter.
You have until July 13, so sign up to decorate your perfect throne for a chance to win a princely prize!
