Stomp Like Lucy: A Red Hatter’s Grape-Filled Adventure
Published
At a local winery in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Queen/Ambassador Suzy Morris and Queen/Ambassador Veronica Daniels, hosted the unforgettable "Stomp Like Lucy RHS Style" event. Red Hatters arrived to the winery, channeling their inner Lucille Ball, and wearing their signature red and pink hats. The excitement was palpable as the group gathered next to the wine barrels, ready to dive into a classic moment of comedy and fun.
As Suzy and Veronica welcomed the ladies, they invited them to join in recreating the iconic grape-stomping scene from I Love Lucy. The laughter began immediately, with Red Hatters climbing in the vats, stomping grapes with gleeful abandon. Grape juice splashed, hats tilted, and squeals of delight filled the air as everyone let loose in true Lucy fashion.
Between stomps, the ladies sipped on the winery’s finest wines, shared stories, and posed for photos that captured the whimsy of the day. By the end, the event was a roaring success, with Red Hatters toasting to friendship, laughter, and the sheer joy of living life with a little "Lucy" flair.
