    Dunking for apples (before the PTA discovered germs)

    Later edit: Oops! Maybe it was "bobbing" for apples?

    Sara that's a good one. I was thinking grape stomp LOL

    Great grape stomps

    At winery harvest festivals, compete with your feet.

    A contestant shows off her newly hued feet.

    During harvest time in a vineyard, turning purple has nothing to do with the Minnesota Vikings.

    Purple is what you'll be if you get into a wooden tub of grapes and try to turn them into juice with your bare feet.

    Vineyards don't get their juice that way anymore, but many still offer a grape stomp, and there's nothing goofier to do on an autumn day.

    There are prizes for those who extract the most juice and those who show the most "style,'' so wearing a creative costume helps.

    And some grape stomps feature an "I Love Lucy'' look-alike contest, in tribute to the famous 1956 episode in which the comedienne takes a job in an Italian vineyard and, of course, makes a mess of things.

    Most stomps require contestants to pre-register and pay a small fee. Everyone gets to sample wine, eat and listen to live music.

    Here are some of the best in 2017 (last updated Aug 24, 2017).

    Kicking through huge piles of raked leaves. We made paths and labyrinths and played tag in them, much like the labyrinths we made in the snow in winter.

    Squirrels stuff their faces and also "squirrel away" food for winter.

    Play UNO with the uncles and the under-aged unless you can be useful in the kitchen while Thanksgiving dinner is prepared. Uphold tradition by uncorking the beverages to uplift spirits until all are called to table.
