This weekend, Petaluma, California celebrates it's 29th Butter & Egg Days with a parade, street fair and antique fair. It's a local version of Founders' Day in that it celebrates the town's heritage. When we moved to Petaluma in 1999, a neighbor told us that everyone in town is either IN the parade or AT the parade. They were absolutely right! We went from bystanders to pulling red wagons full of princesses, cowboys and chicks over the years. It's the highlight of the year for just about every child in town and it is one of the many things that make Petaluma one of America's great small towns.
