Gary the Gliding Grape spent his childhood days on a grape vine in sunny California. He always looked up at the sky and longed to take wing, so he took up hang gliding! With a grape leaf as his glider, Gary hiked up the mountains and worked on improving his “hang time”. You could see Gary floating on the breeze for miles and soaring behind bald eagles. His perfectly balanced shape made him perfect for gliding and rolling, but he had to wear a special patchwork parachute his mom made just to be safe. Gary’s long underwear couldn’t keep him warm up there, so he aimed for “thermals” to supply some heat. If you ever see Gary in the clouds, you can say “ground control to Gary” and ask him if he is “taking a giant leap for grape-kind”. Gary’s special talent is to work above and beyond expectations. Grape Gary, you fly like a bird! Keep shooting for the stars!
