While skies were overcast, the atmosphere at Lu Mil Vineyard’s Grape Festival was one of fun and laughter. Festivities kicked off with a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Dublin Boy Scouts.
The day continued with a food truck round up beckoning visitors with aroma of blooming onions, barbecue funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and everyone’s favorite Collard sandwiches. Also, there plenty of vendors offering a wide array of items from back massages to Tupperware and of course fall and Christmas decorations for your home.
The crowd favorite for the day was the Grape Stomp competition. Competitors young and old alike laughed, stomped and twisted their way through a bucket filled with Muscadine grapes. The goal was to see who could coax the most grape juice from their bucket.
The Three River Bend Band entertained folks on the deck at the gift shop during the morning. They played such favorites as Wagon Wheel.
In the afternoon Blackwater Rhythm and Blues Band took to the stage by lake and entertained everyone in attendance with a variety of Beach music and Blues. They played such favorites as Carolina Girls and Brenda.
Everyone enjoyed the day shopping and dancing on the grounds of Lu Mil Vineyard.
The well attended festival was pronounced a success by all of the organizers.
