Antique car show featured at Jordan Fall Festival

What does scaling a greased pole have to do with celebrating the start of the fall season?

In Jordan, everything. The 61st annual Jordan Fall Festival will shuffle between 15,000 and 20,000 central New Yorkers into autumn with fun activities, food and the sight of antique machines.

If the festival is a tent, the greased poles are, well, the poles. Quartets of men and women will compete at 1 p.m. Sunday to see who can climb to the 30-foot top and swipe a $20 bill in the quickest time.
