This past weekend they went for the gold...or purple, that is.  The World's Record Grape Stomp was held in downtown Jamestown.  I was there Saturday morning and saw the set up.  Amazing.  The city walled off a large "grape pit" and filled t with luscious grapes from the vineyards around the city.  1,032 stompers all did the deed and got Jamestown in the Guinness Book of World Records.
