Video: Highlights from the First Day of the Fair

Event in its 72nd year

Check out our brief video of Petaluma Pete rippin' it up with Washboard Willy.

Yup, he really is playing a washboard, the kind your grandma probably used to wash her clothes. That's followed by pig racing, put on by the National Hog Racing Association (like the NRA with an H in it).

And get this. The person that bet on the winning pig, got a ticket for a free carnita, which, for those who don't know, is a pork taco.

Talk about farm to table.
