Anywhere Else, This May Seem Strange…. VIVA!

Posted on by Nichole S.

If you came across grown men dressed like the Naked Cowboy, a Ninja Turtle, Hulk Hogan and more walking down the street mid afternoon on a Saturday anywhere else in the world it may seem strange…but here, in Gloucester, during Fiesta weekend, it screams GREASY POLE!

So, of course….we followed them…

There Will Be A Large UBER presence In Gloucester For Fiesta- SMARTEST THING YOU CAN DO IS SIGN UP NOW, GET $20 IN FREE UBER CREDITS AND USE THEM THIS WEEKEND!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

THERE IS ZERO AND I MEAN ZERO REASON NOT TO SIGN UP FOR FREE AND USE UBER FOR FIESTA.

If you sign up using the promo code you’ll get $20 off your first ride, a Total No-Brainer! :http://www.uber.com/invite/kypfk

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS- DRIVE IN CIRCLES FOR A HALF HOUR AND MISS THE GREASY POLE AND/OR SEINE BOAT RACES TRYING TO FIND A NON EXISTANT PARKING SPOT WHILE PRAYING TO THE GODS ABOVE THAT YOUR CAR DOESN’T GET IT’S ANTENNAE RIPPED OFF BY A DRUNK OR TAKE UP UBER ON IT’S FREE $20 WORTH OF RIDES DEAL

Wouldn’t you rather be able to go on down to Fiesta and have a few adult beverages and leave the driving to someone else?

 

IT’S UNFATHOMABLE WHY ANYONE WOULDN’T TAKE UBER TO FIESTA UNLESS OF COURSE YOU CAN WALK THERE.

HERE’S THE LINK TO GET YOUR FREE $20s WORTH OF UBER RIDES- http://www.uber.com/invite/kypfk

Wharf Rats are Pulling for Julianna

Posted on by Nichole S.

The boys and I had the pleasure of sneaking some up-close photos of the seine boats earlier today.  Much more importantly, we had the pleasure of meeting Julianna Frontiero and her father, Tony.  Tony, I was told, is a legend in St. Peter Fiesta seine boat racing history.  His daughter, Julianna, is the inspiration behind this year’s Wharf Rats team and the their mission to win while pulling hard for her onboard the Pinta later this weekend!  As Julianna fights a very rare disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia, the crew will be thinking of her with each and every stroke.

Good Sports

Posted on by Nichole S.

More from this morning’s race between Gloucester’s finest!  The Gloucester Police Department, the Gloucester Fire Department and the Coast Guard.

Competitors on the water today….but, joined normally by the same mission to keep us all safe.

What good sports.  It was great fun to watch them all race!

While the Coast Guard was ultimately victorious, it was a close race from beginning to end!

BUONO FIESTA! Paul the 3rd’s Bench on the Boulevard.

It’s at the first set of double benches between the Fisherman at the wheel statue and the drawbridge.

Great place to sit have a coffee and enjoy the view.

Joanne’s Exclusive Story…Posting Latter Today!

Joanne Frontiero Writes…

Congratulations to the winners of both the senior and junior women’s crews, the Breakfast Club and the Savages. Also to all the women and girls, win or lose, who have contributed to carrying on this tradition of twenty years!! This past week has had some really close exciting races in both the men’s and women’s. Thank you also to Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan for all her photos and videos for us to look back at all of them in the future! I know your heart is with your Daughter’s crew, but you always included every crew in your pictures, so that there would be a history to look back on for everyone. I am especially proud of both of my crews today. We may not have won, but we tried like hell, and that’s all you can ask for. Viva San Pedro!
