Each year since 1915 St. Rocco Church has held a festival on the feast day of St. Rocco to raise funds for the parish. One of the most popular festival events over the years has been the greased pole climb. Shown in the above photo from the 1960 fall festival is Gino Marini on the shoulders of Jerry De Benedict, reaching for the flag at the top of the pole. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
