October 7th is California Arts Day, both Murphys and Twain Harte have events and in Jamestown, everyone can join the Handmade Parade in a “walking theatrical performance” that promises to glow after dark. Everyone may participate, details are in our events calendar here.

The Gold Rush Street Faire is happening in Murphys, with over 100 vendors from one end of Main Street to the other. In Murphys Community Park the Calaveras Grape Stomp competition will be held. Stomp viewers will witness fierce competition between teams composed of two persons, one inside a half barrel filled with 25 pounds of grapes, another outside the barrel reaching in to ensure a smooth flow of juice out the drain spot. It’s a sticky business for all concerned. The Winery Stomp with several Wineries competing for the President’s Trophy will be held at 11:00, the event listing is here.
