|  Kenwood.....
is located approximately 50 miles North of
San Francisco, in the heart of the Northern California wine
country. Just East of Santa Rosa about half way to Sonoma.
This is a small town that is surrounded by some of the most
beautiful wine country in the world.
An ideal location if you like that small
town feeling. Located just east of the busy Santa Rosa area,
yet not to far. This is a small town community with a few
businesses, some great wine country resturants, wineries
and tasting rooms, a gas station and the Kenwood Fire Deptartment.
Every year the Kenwood
Fire Department puts on the world famous Kenwood Pillow
Fights, you can see the 2001 pillow fights by going by visiting
the Kenwood Image Gallery.
The Russian River is fairly
close, the Pacific ocean is about an hour west, Calistoga
spa's are just few miles East, Howarth Park and Springlake
are just minutes away, and there is lots of wide open spaces
around Kenwood.
These images were all take
within a few minutes of the Kenwood Valley. The image on
the left is on the backside of Kenwood Valley. The center
image is from the center of Kenwood at sunrise looking East
over the vineyards. At the right is Spring Lake, where you
can hike, camp, ride bikes, swim, boat, and picnic. It's
a great place to take the family.
The World Famous Kenwood Pillow Fights
A Full Day Of Fun In The Sun
This was the next to the last
year of the pillow fights. It used to take place every 4th
of July. It was put on by the Kenwood Fire Department, but
do to the expense and liaibility they had to end it. It
was definitely a good time, there was a parade in the morning,
there was live music and games and great food, and lots
of cold beer.
The Pillow Fights started in
the morning and went on all day until the finals late in
the afternoon. By the time the finals came around everybody
was pretty twisted, sunburnt, and ready for fireworks at
the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. A good time was had by all.
