This has got to be one of the more unusual national traditions - attempting to climb to the top of a 65ft pole which has been covered in grease.

On Evacuation Day, the British left their flag at the top of a greased pole in New York, where their army was headquartered. Maybe this tradition comes from something like that?

Yesterday I won a waterproof bible by sliding a large beer-stein to the edge of a beam. They put the bible in water to show it is waterproof and I was like wow I got to win that. It looked like i pushed too hard but when it got to the edge it suddenly stopped. :)
After, the police let us play with their van. My daughter turned on the siren and flashing lights.
