DERRICK HOPKINS STUPENDOUS GREASY POLE SWEEP PHOTO SLIDESHOW- FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY FOR THE WIN

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

With three flawless walks, eighteen-year-old Gloucester ‘Farm Boy’ Derrick Hopkins sweeps the Greasy Pole competition Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Only one other walker, Jake Wood, has won three consecutive competitions. As announcers Tom Favazza, Al Millefoglie and Jimmy Tarantino joked, “he could have walked all the way to the Boulevard.”

 

Derrick’s Dad Rich Hopkins came out of retirement to walk with his son.
