to the Alaskan Iditarod - a brutal 1,100-mile dog-sledding race - but instead of dogs,
it's people; instead of sleds, it's shopping carts; and instead of Alaska, it's Cincinnati.
While physically attached to their grocery carts, teams start on Fountain Square and
then push through a nearly five-mile course over the streets of downtown, OTR and Mt
Adams, picking up items on a grocery list and stopping at five mandatory checkpoints.
And Senor Roy's Taco Patrol showed up on the Square! I had their Quesadillas. Awesome!

I SO want to do this next year! Wish I was not still on the mend and stuck at home it looks like a blast. (Of course with my Mardi Gras oriented background it's a no brainer: costumes, carts, mania? Hell yeah!)
ReplyDeleteOh well, maybe there will be a CincyVoices team for next year....
