The Davedi Club celebrated the 7th Annual Grape Stomping Festival Friday night.

The sold out event had club members, local celebrities, and politicians of all ethnic backgrounds crushing the grapes between their toes and making the sweet juice that will be turned into wine.

Grape stomping is an Italian tradition after a harvest, and originally the festival locally was going to be a parade in celebration of Columbus Day, but turned into the festival instead.

The juice was later raffled off.
