Harvest Festival
Last year's festival was a blast if you missed it. It is a very laid back event. The 2010 Festival will be September 25th, 12:00 - 9:30 p.m.
Once the harvest is finally in and the twenty-hour workdays draw to a close it is time to celebrate. We throw a big party to which you are invited. Pop-country and folk rock music provides the background, great food from a local vendor for the energy, and International Award Winning Wine the impetus. Enjoy the wine and music or compete in the Grape Stomping contests. The first band starts off the music at 12 Noon. From 3-6 we switch bands and end the entertainment with our last band performing from 6-9.
This is the time to come and show off your grape stomping skills! Competition fee is $10 per 2 member team, payment due with sign up form. Stomps are 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00 - more may be added depending on the number of competitors!
