It was a great afteroon for the Friday night Greasy Pole walk yesterday. Sunny and mild for the men taking that long walk in an attempt to grab the flag. As we posted previously, Leo Cannavo was the Friday winner and here are some other memorable scenes, including one very near miss! Viva!

The flag was claimed early in the second round so there aren’t too many photos of those who made the attempt prior to Anthony Novello’s walk but here are some of the intrepid walkers on their run in the second round. Lessons in acrobatics, balance, dismount and costumes. Great contest!

The dedicated volunteers were out this morning attaching the new flag and re-greasing the pole in preparation for tonight’s Fiesta 2022 activities. Thanks guys!

Special Happy Birthday celebration is in store for Fiesta 2022 Friday Greasy Pole Champion Leo Cannavo! More photos to come of this great event. Congratulations Leo!

A few scenes from tonight’s Greasy Pole competition which was won in the second round by Anthony Novello, one of the early walkers. Congratulations! See you up there tomorrow!

There’s something majestic about the Greasy Pole sitting out there. But, I wonder……when the Greasy Pole isn’t greasy for the Fiesta, is it still called the Greasy Pole? I suppose so since that’s what makes it infamous. January 2019 January 2018
