2008 Float for the Petaluma Butter & Egg Days Parade
on April 26th

The '08 Butter and Egg Parade celebrates the 150th birthday of Petaluma, and we have chosen this
occasion to honor the Miwok Indians, the original inhabitants who named this place . . . Bug has met with the
Tribal Council from the Federated Tribes of the Graton Rancheria and they are joining us on our float.
We do not know for sure, but, this could be the Miwoks 1500th (or more) year celebration
of their stay in this place they named Petaluma, which means “sloping ridge” in coast Miwok - here
are sketches of the float and some parade photos of members of the tribe and friends riding along with the
redwood "kotcha" and tule boat in tow. Names to match these beautiful faces will be posted shortly...
