KELOWNA – Get your grape stomping gear ready, the Okanagan Stomp is ready to stomp grapes to help stamp out cancer.
The Okanagan Stomp is a wine-themed, team participation event to help raise proceeds for the Canadian Cancer society. The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the House of Rose Winery in Kelowna.
Games include a mystery food box challenge and a blind taste testing. As the name implies, the stomp performance features three-minute team air band while stomping in a barrel of grapes.
The event includes prizes and live music, and winners will receive a trophy and the title of Okanagan Stomp Champs.
Teams, which can be anywhere from five to eight members, must come up with a cool team name and register by 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11.
Proceeds from the Okanagan Stomp benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. This year the event will donate specifically to brain cancer research. Brain Canada will match each dollar one-for-one doubling the donation.
