I reached out to Mayor Kirk this morning for a statement about the greasy pole.
Here is her response.
The Greasy Pole will be rebuilt. I have already met with members of the Fiesta Committee this morning and assured them the city will be their partner. It will take a community effort though. We need the Fiesta Committee, the Waterways Board and the city to all step up to the financial challenge. The Greasy Pole represents a tradition and culture that we cherish in Gloucester, and we won’t let it vanish.
Regards, Carolyn Kirk Mayor
Good Morning Gloucester 
Thank you, Mayor Kirk! You have my support and my vote. I will definitely contribute in any way that I can. We should plan a big fundraiser!

A fund raiser is a great idea! The Greasy Pole has been cut up into pieces. How about a raffle or just straight out sell pieces of the pole? I bet a lot of people- especially past winners would love to own a piece of it.
