Who wants to be the 2011 Grape Stomp Champion Team
Find a stomp partner and start practicing for the Grape Stomp Contest to be held on Saturday at 12:00pm at the festival. Costumes or matching team shirts are encouraged!
We are again looking for volunteers (2 person teams) to participate. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Each team consists of a stomper and a swabbie. The stompers stand in the barrels and flatten the grapes with their bare feet. The swabbies stand below the barrels and catch the juice with a carafe. The team whose carafe has the most juice after stomping for 2 minutes is the winner and advances to the final round.
There are only 3 barrels so the first 9 teams to sign up will participate.
The teams will start lining up at the barrel stage located next to the main stage 15 minutes before the event (Saturday 11:45). If your team is not at the stage 15 minutes before the event, your spot will be forfeited to an alternate team. (Alternate teams are those that sign up after the first 9 teams).
So take off those shoes (and socks) and be ready to “stompa the grapes”!
