It was another travel marketer’s dream day in Murphys for the 2015 Grape Stomp & Street Faire.  Good crowds especially so soon after the Butte Fire, perfect temperatures, good food & drink.  Many of the proceeds went to The Calaveras Foundations Disaster relief fund, other local charities & non-profits.

Momentum was building for the 2015 Stomp before the Butte Fire and then sign up for entrants just stopped during the fire.  There was some concern for a smaller than normal event but as soon as the ash stopped falling things kicked into high gear and the it was another great event in Murphys.

We have about 160 photos and full video of the semi-final heats and the finals and awards ceremonies for Costume Contest and Grape Stomp
