in a town this size

petaluma was once the largest supplier of eggs to the united

states, and shipped nearly 600 million world wide, thus giving

itself the title of "the egg basket to the world." every april the

city celebrates this history with weekend long events and a

parade that attracts, according to the petaluma downtown

association, nearly 30,000 attendees.

we didn't catch much of the butter and egg day parade this

year, but did have a cold one at volpi's, one of the best bars

in town, after the commotion died down a bit.
