It's dirty carnival season again in Petaluma as the Sonoma/Marin fair hit town. Since the kids are now both over 3, it cost $46 to get in. For the four of us. In about an hour and a half, the kids rode seven or eight rides, including a teacup ride, an elephant ride and the carousel. Plus, we saw lots of cows, sheep, pigs, goats and endless rabbits. In terms of characters, the kids were thrilled when Clo, the blow-up costumed mascot of the Clover Stornetta dairy walked by waving. The cast members or, more accurately, los cast miembros, made sure we had a safe and happy time.
