Winnipesaukee has too many buzz-kill laws (and I'm really not trying to start a forum war) for fun events like this to proliferate.

Don't forget the environmental impact of the grease falling in the Lake!

I've also seen this several times... from land AND from sea. My wife is from Gloucester so we used to make a weekend of it every year (the greasy pole runs both Sat and Sun, and there are boat races, a parade, and general all out hooligan-ism.

One year 4 of us loaded into my Coleman Crawdad with a cooler full of, um, refreshments, fired up the trolling motor, and put putted out to watch the festivities. I can't believe we didnt sink. It seemed like a good idea at the time! It was the next year or so that I bought my first real boat, what a difference that made.
