200 Volunteers Needed For Petaluma Butter & Egg Days

PETALUMA, CA —More volunteers are needed for this year's Butter & Egg Days Parade and Festival.

The event, put on annually by the Petaluma Downtown Association, brings people together to celebrate the community and the city's history. This year, the Butter and Egg Days Parade is Saturday, April 20, and the theme is "Greener Pastures" - Sustaining Petaluma's Future and Celebrating Petaluma's march toward a brighter, eco-conscious tomorrow.

It usually takes more than 200 volunteers to stage the parade, carry banners, work in beverage booths, keep the parade route safe, sell memorabilia, and much more.

Organizers with the downtown association encourage people to consider volunteering as a team alongside friends, family and/or co-workers. Groups of 20 or more volunteers can have their logo printed on the back of their parade shirts.

Volunteers get a free Butter & Egg Days shirt for Parade Day. Coffee, water, soda and snacks are provided for volunteers on event day and lunch is provided for those who work five-plus hours.

Volunteers should plan on attending the Volunteer Training Dinner, tentatively set for April 9, for information about Parade Day, an overview of tasks for each volunteer, and a meet-and-greet with team leaders.

To volunteer for the Petaluma Butter and Egg Days event, fill out and submit this form.

Volunteers are invited to attend a thank-you dinner which usually takes place a few weeks after the parade.
