According to Randy’s dad, Billy, Randy and his friends have been practicing walking the Greasy Pole since they were young kids.
From first-time walker to two time winner! Congratulations, Randy Sweet! 
Although meticulously maintained over the years, the Saint Peter statue is becoming increasingly dried out and fragile, as explained by Joe Novello, master of ceremonies at the Saint Peter’s Fiesta official opening event. Sara Favazza hopes the original Saint Peter statue will eventually be retired to the Cape Ann Museum, and perhaps live next to the Our Lady of Good Voyage statue.

Congratulations to Friday’s Women’s Seine Boat Senior Champs “Rowgue” and Junior Champs “Up Roar”.
The Gloucester Police Department won this morning’s rainy seine boat races aboard the Nina!
Second place went to the Fire Department on the Pinta. The Coast Guard hit the Beach third on the Santa Maria.
Snotty, cold conditions….good job done by all.

The beautiful new Saint Peter statue was unveiled at Friday night’s Fiesta opening celebration. Sara Favazza, daughter and tenth child of Captain Salvatore Favazza and Maria Lucido Favazza, did the honors. Salvatore Favazza commissioned the original Saint Peter’s statue in 1926 and in 1927, Gloucester celebrated its first Saint Peter’s Fiesta.
Good Morning Gloucester
