St. Peter's Fiesta and the "Greasy Pole"

In subsequent years it became clear that the St. Peter's Fiesta was taking on two aspects. The first and foremost was the deeply religious tone of the event. The second was the joyous atmosphere that permeates all who are present. The religious aspect is motivated by the realization that their patron saint has protected the fishermen against the many storms encountered at sea during the past year. The joyous aspect stems from the natural instinct of those engaged in a hazardous occupation to enjoy a festive occasion.

You gotta watch this.........

LMAO. Had me worried, then the opening character? With all the girls doing the whole aerobic fitness poll dancing around here, I had to peek. Had my boys join in after I saw it was safe. Thanks Netman
