Winner gets a trip to SC?
That would be cool.
The winner
gets a week in south carolina. The runner-up gets two weeks.
Ill take a week in Charleston SC any day
Columbia SC?
Never again, thank you.
Had never heard of the Gloucester Greasy Pole competition
This drone video from 2014 provides a nice glimpse of what it's about.
I wonder if there's an establishment of a favorable "pole position", i.e., going later, when much of the pole gets less greasy thanks to earlier contestants.
