San Jose’s Matt Mahan, Santa Clara’s Lisa Gillmor and Milpitas’ Carmen Montaro will put their best feet forward at the cultural festival.
Being a politician is a mixed bag. Sure, a degree of authority and a certain amount of respect come with the job, but you’ve also got to deal with all the gripes and happily pose at all those ribbon cutting ceremonies.
With Lissa Kreisler, host of KCAT-TV’s “Community Stories,” serving as emcee, the trio of city leaders will do their best Lucy and Ethel impersonations by jumping into tubs of grapes and crushing them with their bare feet. It’s officially a competition, though it’s tough to say who has an advantage unless somebody’s hiding grape-crushing experience that’s not on their LinkedIn pages.
And don’t get jealous, as this activity ain’t just for the political elite. Anybody can sign up at the Grape Stomp Stage at History Park, where the Italian Family Festa is taking place Saturday and Sunday. There’ll be multiple heats both days, starting at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
