Bridgeview Winery’s Bob and Lelo Kerivan hosted the annual Grape Stomp Party fund-raiser on Saturday, Sept. 25th. The 110 people who turned out for the annual event helped raise $1,800, which was split 50-50 between Illinois Valley tourism promotion and the I.V. branch of the Boys and Girls Club. “I would like to have seen a better one, but it was a good turnout,” Mrs. Kerivan said. “There was very good food, music and the people had a fun time.” She added that this year’s event was made extra special due to the first-place team of her granddaughter, Gabby, and new son-in-law, David Miller.
