We all had a great time at the Harvest Ball on October 14th. After an excellent supper Béla Szeri demonstrated how the grapes are pressed. Children and adults had an opportunity to try turning and tightening the press. There was a great demand for the natural, sweet grape juice. The music was supplied by Kati and Pista Koleszár. After lively conversation dancing followed until very late in the evening.
