I was born in Fort Bragg and don't ever recall the town making that claim.
My uncle was a commercial fisherman out of Noyo harbor that for many years
fished for salmon and then moved north to Washington where he fished for
black cod and halibut. The last time I went to the Salmon festival was
about 20 years ago. Great food and great fun.

I'm going to cut boats out of the followup unless you want it.

Worth attending eh? I've been to the berry festival in Covelo. I'm not
normally into these things, especially when you have to pay to get in.

But good food flavors are not to be missed.

Similarly Alert Bay claims world's tallest totem pole, compared to one
at McKinleyville, etc.

The town I live in now (Ithaca, NY) claims to be the birthplace of the ice
cream sundae. The claim is however disputed by Two Rivers, Wisconsin:

I think that can be a good title to have.

I missed visiting Ithaca back a few years when we had an All Projects
meeting there due to the change in the Federal fiscal year. A prior
trip I made it to Rochester. Missed the gorges tour. Missed the
project reports, etc.


Well I also think of Castroville: artichokes; Lindsey: olives, etc.

There is a town a bit north of here that claims to be the birthplace of
Memorial day.

In wikipedia? (not that I regard that as reliable.)
