Get Ready to Race a Cardboard Box With Your Team Down Pleasant Mountain in Maine

It's a literal cardboard box race!

Oh, Maine, you never seem to surprise me and I love it.

Hailing straight out of exactly where you'd expect it to, Bridgton, Maine, where you quite literally bring your own decorated cardboard box and race it down a snowy terrain against other box racers.

You can even form your own teams and race other teams. Classic.

This reminds me of the giant pumpkin races up in Damariscotta that Mainers also love to participate in during the fair season.
