This Saturday, May 11th, marks the 16th Annual Great Petaluma Chili Cook-off, Salsa and Beer Tasting.  The event has become a Petaluma institution and is always a crowd favorite.  This isn’t hard to believe with over 40 chili and salsa teams battling it out for top honors.  And don’t forget about the beer garden and the music and entertainment.   The event is held from 1pm – 5pm in and around Herzog Hall (Petaluma Fairgrounds) and benefits&#8230; <a href="http://rivertown.blogs.petaluma360.com/12889/great-petaluma-chili-cookoff/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

We found a local artist with handmade ornaments, fashioned from recycled antique-y kinds of things, like bells and balls and books.  We could not have been more excited.  The prices were steep compared with Walmart and the Grocery Outlet, but we were being green …green squared.  We were buying from a local artist and were buying ornaments that used recycled&#8230; <a href="http://rivertown.blogs.petaluma360.com/12802/christmas-experiment-%e2%80%93-buying-local-part-3/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Local Christmas Experiment: Part 2 – Craft Fairs and Baked Goods How easy would it be to find a reasonably priced local tree and decorate it with locally crafted ornaments and lights?  The short answer? – not very.  And not without hitting our pocketbooks pretty hard. The first thing we did was check with a few downtown Petaluma shops to see if they carried anything from local artisans.  This proved fruitless.  We wrestled with the idea of getting no tree&#8230; <a href="http://rivertown.blogs.petaluma360.com/12792/christmas-experiment-buying-local-part-2/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

During our weekly trek through the Petaluma Grocery Outlet, my partner broached the idea of us getting a Christmas tree this year.  Living in a fairly small space for the past few years, we have never before set up a Christmas tree.  We are by no means non-festive &#8211; we usually string up some lights inside the house and border our patio with candy cane lights.  We also&#8230; <a href="http://rivertown.blogs.petaluma360.com/12753/christmas-experiment-buying-local-part-1/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>
