Bob Stark, owner of Forks True Value, stands outside a Twilight-decorated sanican located in his store parking lot at the corner of West Division Street and South Forks Avenue on Tuesday, Aug. 2. Brent Gagnon of West Waste added  touches of vampire blood red along with Twilight stickers both inside and outside the sanican. A second, stock, sanican is located adjacent to the Twi-o-let, providing relief for visitors to downtown Forks during summer months. The downtown Forks merchants working with  the Forks Chamber of Commerce and the West End Business & Professional Association joined forces to provide the portable sanicans through the end of summer for the visitors, said Lissy Andros, tourism and event director for the Forks Chamber.
