St. Peter's Fiesta 2009 is now a memory but what a memory it was! Controversy surrounded Saturday's Greasey Pole when all time Greasy Pole champ Salvi Bensen's crew from his boat "Salvage Star" ripped down the flag! You see Salvi maintains the pole adding the grease. He usually anchors just off the beach but with high tide and a large beach crowd many couldn't see the pole. The police moved in to tell him to move and things got heated. He did pull up anchor but as he was leaving his crew ripped down the flag in the process! This caused about a 30 minute delay while a new replacement flag was located. The first replacement flag was too short so another was found.
The rest is a collection of Greasy Pole activity that I had yet to post.
