I was able to check out the different displays this past weekend while attending a special event. The artworks were both quirky and confusing at times. I was certainly intrigued by the possibilities behind the door of the enchanting tree stump. The particular event I attended seemed to be lacking a bit in the quality of the sound and light equipment. But I actually enjoyed the music played by the DJ's on site. And I loved that we were able to hang out on giant bean bag loungers in the large open space of the main room. Merchandise was available for purchase, including beautiful handbags and accessories. Snacks and beverages for sale too, like famous amos cookies, cheez-its, sparkling water and juice boxes. We got a berry lemonade yerba mate and a mango orange spindrift. Nothing too fancy, but it was better than no offerings at all. And staff was friendly at the front counter. WonderStump is a lovely space for events. I'm sure that when the interactive aspect of the exhibits is more organized and functional, this place will offer a much greater experience for guests. But we still found the creative works and setup to be amusing during our recent visit. They have a dedicated parking lot next to the building, though street parking was plentiful less than a block away on a Saturday evening.

As a naturally inartistic person (see photo), I would normally object to this type of activity, but they made it super easy and fun even for someone as artistically challenged as me. All materials were provided and they glaze/fire the pieces for you, all you have to do is pick them up when they're ready! Highly recommend them for an enjoyable way to break up a long team meeting.

However, personally, I was less than impressed by the collection of "antiques" on display. Lot of repetition at every other stall, not too many choicest artefacts to really choose from, mostly household used goods and such other items not evoking much interest. It's almost an annual event (now next one is to be in April 2024), however, for me it dint inspire that awe or charisma which may want me to come back the next year.

Fun and fabulous for the whole familia!…read more We happened upon the Antique Faire by pure accident, so how lucky were we?! Block after block of treasures. Whether you're looking to take a trip down memory lane or you're on the hunt for something specific, the Petaluma Antique Faire is a great stop. I picked up a vintage bread bowl, and I LOVE it. There's food, an old timey picture booth, furniture, clothes, decor...the whole nine yards. Show up and show out!

I got no work done the 1st half of the day because I couldn't stop looking at everything. It's like an Antique shop but everything works! I'm so used to seeing really cool old things but they don't work. Everything works! Then you walk the property & see the train (which works!) & Tractors, old cars, Concord Grape vines from the 30's, giant compressors... It's like Steve got real sized versions of all the toys he ever loved. Come by to see the place, stay to help out & make sure to check out the Upstairs of the barn where there is an old Chevy Truck (which Steve learned how to drive in & took his license test in).

This "museum" has just about every type of motor/engine you can think of but unlike a good number of museums, most of the exhibits at this one are still in working order. From old tractors to working vintage printing presses to one of the actual engines from Howard Hughes' famous Spruce Goose. And get this...there is a mini train (but big enough to ride on) that runs around the property!!!! They usually have one or two days a year that they are open to the public so keep your ear to the railroad tracks because you won't want to miss it. Usually there is an open house during the summer sometime. Along with the Petaluma Military Museum (300 Petaluma Blvd N) this is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon soaking up some of the marvels from our country's industrial past.

I made the pilgrimage to California, namely to finally visit this mecca for Star Wars collectors,…read moreand I was blown away a la Alderaan! Rancho Obi-Wan is the world's largest private Star Wars memorabilia collection and current (and eternal) Guinness World Record holder. If you are a die-hard fan or just simply enjoy the cultural phenomenon, this place is worth the visit. The museum is located on a private residence in Petaluma. Your best bet is looking for their website and scheduling a tour through there. All tours are led by the owner, Stephen Sansweet. A former Lucasfilm employee, he is a fan's fan with intimate and professional knowledge of that Galaxy Far, Far Away. If you're in the area or make the trek just for this, it's well worth the 3+ hours you'll spend here. Steve takes you on a trip down memory lane, showing off his immense collection with stories about his favorite and unique pieces. He has everything from a library filled with non-fiction and prose EU fiction, shelves of toys, house hold products, musical instruments, promotional material, costumes, video game equipment, and art. You could go back multiple times and not see everything. He is one of the most genuine and nice people to spend an afternoon with. My favorite area is the prototypes and original film-used props. I also had a great time playing some of my favorite Star Wars video games that I spent hours (and tons of quarters) on as a young fan. The museum has a small gift shop with typical souvenirs. The best selections are the collectibles books available from the author himself. Make sure to have him sign them on the way out! The museum manager, Anne Neumann, is also on hand to help with the tour and purchases at the end. She's a friendly person to talk to as well. This is one of my favorite museum and Star Wars experiences. Everyone that has the time needs to check it out!
