Weeks after the Italian Market Festival, no one has taken down the cheese and meat from the greased pole

Weeks after the Italian Market Festival, no one has taken down the cheese and meat from the greased poleAlmost a month after the Italian Market Festival was over, cheese and meat remain hanging at the top of the greased pole. A crane lift is being organized to remove the leftover prizes by this weekend.

And now, 25 mostly very hot days later, they twirl in the sun, like the world’s worst wind chime. And add a new duty to the job of the utility man who maintains the piazza where the pole sits.Michele Gambino, who produces the festival as head of the Italian Market Visitor Center, usually oversees the removal of the competition’s unclaimed goodies.The end of the festival is always stressful, she said.

Communications got scrambled, Gambino said, taking full responsibility. Market crews that usually clean up the pole afterward went home without doing so. And so did the rented crane.
