I can’t believe they could field two teams of 70-something players. Good for them! It’s a great story, for sure, and I’m glad we stumbled upon the Codger Pole just by reading some tourist info brochures. Appreciate the comments.

You are so welcome! I love the story, too. Wish some old codgers I know would have a rematch around here — would be fun to watch.

This is a great feel-good story and I just love the Codger Pole. It just goes to show that we are never too old until we decide that we are. Thanks for this. :-)

I agree. And it was neat that they used the likenesses of the men at their old age — around 70 — rather than as the boys who played the original game. Thanks for taking a look!

What a cool idea for an urban statue. A great tribute to the locals to keep real local history alive.
