Cutest Little Snooze in Town

37799 - Snoozing Chick
Originally uploaded by PhotoSensei.

Petaluma at at one time claimed to be the Chicken Capital of the World. We still have the decaying chicken coops to prove it, but thankfully the chickens have flown the coop and taken their smelly chicken poop with them. We honor our town's heritage once a year during Butter & Egg Days, which includes a contest to honor the Cutest Little Chick in Town. Parents dress their infants and toddlers in costumes that match the theme of the year. This year was the 150th anniversary of Petaluma's fire department, hence a Super Hero theme to recognize its heroic work. This chick was riding on the parade float, but found a nap preferable to the traditional beauty queen wave. View the rest of this gallery here.
