Grape Feet Calling All Grape Stompers

Team entry applications are now being accepted for the Great Grandview Grape Stomp 2012.  The event will take place on  Saturday, September 8, 2011.

Yakima Valley Community College will host this year’s Grandview Grape Stomp on the Grandview Campus located at 500 West Main Street.   There is a limit for the number of teams, so get your registration in early.

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.

The Great Grandview Grape Stomp will begin at 1:00 p.m.  A variety of activities will be featured for the whole family.  There will be food and arts & crafts vendors, and activities for the kids.

Forms will be available in July.
