The grape stomping contest was added to the festival in 2009. That year the kids had a great time but no adults wanted to get involved. In 2010, not only did the kids get into it but a considerable number of adults got in the vat and had a great time. Gloria was the winner and her performance was certainly enjoyed by everyone. Sponsored by Barkett Fruit Company, it will be back at the main stage on Saturday at 2:00 P.M. We hope to see Gloria defend her title and plenty of competition trying to dethrone her.
