It's almost time to get stompin'! The Great Grandview Grape Stomp will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2011 at YVCC's Grandview Campus at 1:00pm.
If you'd like to participate, get your registration in now! You can find information on registering here.
The Great Grandview Grape Stomp revives a long-time European tradition. Each year, townspeople from small communities gather together at harvest to celebrate and to help crush the grapes. Contestants in this updated version will hop into wooden wine barrels and stomp furiously, using their bare feet to turn 30 pounds of fresh grapes into juice.
There are activities for the whole family. Volunteers are also needed to make this event happen. You can email grapestomp@visitgrandview.org with any questions you have.
Looking for something to do after the Grape Stomp? Head over to the Country Park Events Center Amphitheater to watch Kung Fu Panda 2! The event is sponsered by Grandview Parks and Recreation and YVCC Grandview Campus ASB. Gates will open at 7:00pm, with the movie beginning at dusk. You're encouraged to bring your own blanket or lawn chairs and some snacks. The event is free, however donations will be accepted to offset expenses for the next Movie in the Park.
