Fiesta Sunday Whites!

Wearing white on Fiesta Sunday has been a Sicilian tradition honoring St. Peter for generations. Weeks before Fiesta mothers and grandmothers shop for their families Fiesta Whites! Hundreds of people wearing their Fiesta Whites lined the streets of Gloucester during yesterday’s procession around central Gloucester. I personally thank all who allowed me to snap of photos of their beautiful children. How blessed are we to live in a community with deep rooted tradition, and culture. VIVA St. Pietro & VIVA Gloucester!

Courtesy

Some props need to go to this walker.  A little help here….because I missed his name.  We all know the first round of the Greasy Pole is a “Courtesy Round” and the flag can not be grabbed.  But it is clear that victory would have been his if he were allowed to pull the flag down with him.  Actually….with his hand wrapped around the pole…I’m not sure how he was able to leave it up there.

The plan-

First need to remove the rusted off bolts that secured the Performer’s horizontal cross brace square tubes.  Sprayed them with WD-40, put a vice grip on the rusted bolt and another on the nut and with a little pressure they snapped right off, all four of them.

A photo to remember exactly where the Gas assist tank holder goes before I disassemble it.

For anyone that wold rather replace the bolts with more original starnuts and a bolt, the one that came on the Performer originally is 2 inches.

As I decided to run a threaded rod all the way through the square cross-brace tube and the holes where the bolts I removed was located and then cap the rod off with an acorn nut.  Here was the hardware from Ace Hometown Hardware store, Gloucester MA.

4 acorn nuts, 8…

This is the Greasy Pole. Video of Kyle Barry’s Triumph

GoPro footage of the final round of Saint Peter’s Fiesta Greasy Pole Sunday, Kyle Barry’s win, and the triumphant swim to shore.

Pretty exciting to be in the midst of it….even if my board is now covered in grease.

Good times.  Congratulations, Kyle!
