Sonoma County, CA. ~ So- noma Coun- ty Historical Society is hosting its


11th Annual 20 Mile Walk in San Francisco on June 6, 2015, the first Saturday in June. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposi- tion, the group will be explor- ing the sites of 100 years


ago


that make up the original exposi- tion along with other historical places.

In 2005 Jeff the


walk and now a retired teacher, put together


the first 20-25 historical walk for the general public. Previ- ously, he had walked with his 4th, 5th and 6th graders. Jeff Tobes said, “Taking walks in San Francisco was something I had done several times with my wonderful students from


mote Sonoma County, and to stay healthy.


The initial walk


in 2005 had 35 participants. My 12 year old students


walked with adults who were in their 70’s. It was claimed a success. The last four walks have had more than 100 peo-


Forestville School… If grade school students could do this, certainly adults could! That was our mindset back in 2004.” Jeff Tobes continues, “Instead of the walk being sponsored by a particular school, however, it would be run by the Sonoma County Historical Society of which I was a board member. We came up with three pur- poses: to share history, to pro-


ple walk and about a fourth of them are repeaters that come back every year…. It’s become an event people do not want to miss. It’s not too late to register.


The walk will be held on June 6th, rain or shine, but no cry- babies or whiners allowed. Go to the Sonoma County Histori- cal Society’s website, sonoma- countyhistory.org.
