Eyesore: Organizers of the annual St. Francis County Relay for Life have found a new way to raise money for the American Cancer Society: A purple toilet. The off-colored porcelain throne has been making its way from yard to yard in Forrest City for a few weeks now, holding the property owners accountable to make a donation to get rid of the eyesore. The potty then finds a new home in someone else’s yard. Jennifer Morris, left, looks on as Leanne Hastings arranges plastic flowers in the toilet’s bowl. Both Morris and Hastings are members of Forrest City Bank’s Relay for Life Team and were setting up the yard display at the home of FCB president and CEO Dwight Rutland. Rutland is also the chair of this year’s Relay event, which is scheduled to take place from Friday, June 1, through Saturday June 2, from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. at Sam Smith Stadium.
