The second annual Portland Dirty Ditch Mud Bog/Food Drive takes place on November 16 in Portland, Connecticut. The event runs from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and will feature two pits, a mega truck pit and a 35-44-inch tire pit, as well as ultra 4 race car time trials, dash for cash, and mega truck freestyle. The pit area is being expanded for this year’s event. Admission is $20 plus one non-perishable food item or $25 for drivers and spectators, $5 for kids 12 and under, and free for children 2 and under. Mud trucks require a minimum of 35-inch tires, a solid hitch point, a roof or roll cage, and drivers must wear helmets and seat belts. Registration for drivers is from 8:00 to 9:45 AM. There will also be a monster truck bounce house and a sandbox area for kids. All donations support the Portland Food Bank. For more information, contact Tyler Thompson at 860-398-3422.
