The ‘Chitidarod’ returned this year after being put on hold last year. Started in 2006, the event was created to help stop hunger in Chicago. The costume, shopping cart race, bar crawl, fund raiser, talent show raised over $100,000 this year, even dealing with having to scale it back slightly. The event took over Fulton Street near Ashland Avenue by Cobra Lounge. 35 teams participated with each team donating at least 69 pounds of food.
