About the day

For 44 years, the small town of Cloverdale has shut down Highway 101 for one day in early summer. The parade rolls through at 11. The fun run kicks off at 8:30. Vendors line the street with food, crafts, and local goods. The Lions Club grills hotdogs. The Senior Center scoops ice cream. There's a milk chugging contest, a petting zoo, live music, and at the center of it all, a cow named Clover. It's the kind of small-town celebration most places don't have anymore. We're keeping it alive.
