This year, proceeds of our Grape Stomp contests and Grape Stomp Romp benefit the Central Oregon Youth Challenge Program. Information on the this program which is an intensive program to help troubled Central Oregon teens get back on their feet can be found via this link: http://www.ngyf.org Put your fun hat on and take part in one of several activities: Stomping Grapes - the general stomp where you can put your toes into action. Adults and kids! Stomp Contests - which team can stomp the most grapes! The Grape Stomp Romptm - this activity starts at the begining of the day. Whose taste buds are best - blind taste wine at different stations, and tell us which wine you tasted at each station. Adults only for this one! And, especially for the kids, in addition to the stomp, we'll have recreation activities. Also for your enjoyment, we'll have two great Central Oregon bands playing throughout the day. First up will be Parlour from 11:45am to 2:45 pm followed by Lino and his band from 3pm to 6pm. They'll be food available for purchase - what will it be - leg of lamb sliders cooked on a spit! And, you may also picnic if you like, just no beverages please. So, get ready to stomp those grapes! You can visit our web site as more details and an itinerary for the day's events will follow.
