Many people in the Sonoma County area don't realize that in addition to the title of the "Egg Basket of the World" Petaluma was the home for the world wristwrestling tournament for over 50 years.
Now finally after 10 years there has been some talk about bringing one of the national wristwrestling tournaments back to Petaluma. For an event that started in the back of a bar in Petaluma in 1952 it rose to such prominence that it attracted ABC's "Wide World of Sports" until it ultimately left in 2000 to go to Reno.
This event certainly is a big part of Petaluma's history and has already got me excited even if it is just a rumor at this point. Lets help bring this event back to Petaluma and have some fun.
Thanks!
