The annual petaluma butter and egg day parade! The theme was "flight" -it was the 100th anniversary of the historic 1st ever airmail flight, from petaluma to santa rosa, california - so there were marching bands, veterans of foreign wars, floats of vintage planes, kid's dressed up like chicks or bumblebees, and so on.
the old public free library, now a history museum.
support our troops..
A group of 4 folks from the Figure Drawing class at the Santa Rosa Junior College (plus a talented 11 year old sketcher) showed up to draw.
One of the sketchcrawlers has a family business, building tiny houses, and they had a float in the parade! When I found out....whoosh! Lickety-split, I was up on the float, queen for a day, with my fellow sketchcrawler!
Grinning ear to ear, doing every variety of wave..the over the head, the windshield wiper, the royal family subtle twist of the wrist, plus many variations.
Note - you can just see the drawing of Enrico on the top of the sketchcrawl T-shirt.
(There's a little chick on the old Coke advertisement on the building, dating back to when petaluma was a chicken and egg producing town.)
