Epic mushers, veteran and new.  We salute your bravery, ambition, utter disregard for the resonable, and HEART.  The results of the 2009 Chiditarod are in.  First and foremost, the food drive.  The Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation is the recipient of the food drive this year.  Thanks to your generosity and cunning, the 2009 Chiditarod raised 7,758 pounds of food for Chicago's hungry.   That's almost 4 Tonnes!

7,758 pounds!

Calling all cARTists,

There are two opportunities in the near future for you to display your cART splendor. We're referring to to the extraordinary works of c(art) art produced in the last few years by our model racing citizens. Phone booths, Street Cleaners, Fighter Jets, Bears Tailgating Extravaganzas, BaconRods, Chairy, the list goes on and on. The cream of the cart crop. This is a great opportunity to share your creations with a larger audience and keep the Spirit of Chiditarod (umm.. minus the sabotage) alive until next year. If you are interested, let us know!

1) Resonate v4.0

April 4, 2009, Event begins at 9 pm, ends 5 am

RESONATE is produced by Chicago's Burning Man Community for the Burning Community at-large. It embodies the tenets of Radical-Inclusion, Radical Self-Expression, Radical Self-Reliance and LEAVE NO TRACE! This year's Resonate is bigger and better than EVER. Chiditarod cART has a designated space at the event specifically for carts. Resonate cannot provide security for the carts, however there is a large staff of volunteers on-hand to ensure safety and security. Last year, Death by HighKicks brought their big-wheeled Pagoda cart to Resonate and it was a big hit!

If interested, contact chiditarod@gmail.com ASAP!

2) Chicago Art Parade

Saturday, May 2nd, 6 pm

Thanks to the large majority of you who took your carts home with you after the event. We salute you. As for the few of you who figured you'd let someone else clean up your mess...
