October 13, 2014 By WRFA Leave a Comment

LucyTownMarathonJAMESTOWN – It was a record-setting weekend in downtown Jamestown as organizers with the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy celebrated one of the most memorable comedy scenes in television history.

Over 1200 people descended on W. Second Street in downtown Jamestown Saturday afternoon to set the Guinness World Record for most people grape stomping at one time – easily beating the previous record of 970. Organizers say a total of 60 tons of grapes were used to set the record.

In addition to setting a new world record, the weekend also featured the second annual Lucy Town Half Marathon and 5K along with an appearance by Television legend Bob Newhart that drew a full house at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts.

The weekend was organized by the Lucy – Desi Center, Chautauqua Striders and the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena and was sponsored by Univera Healthcare.
