An actress at the 7th Annual Barbara Bull Memorial Cemetery Walk poses for a portrait in Sebastopol, Ca on Saturday, October 3, 2009
October 3, 2009 marked the 7th annual Barbara Bull Memorial Cemetery Walk in Sebastopol, Ca. Beginning at St. Stephens Church with a soup and salad supper, participants are then led through Sebastopol’s historical Luther Burbank Gardens and into the town’s cemetery where several vignettes are performed which tell a bit of historical background about the small town and the residents who have been buried at the grounds. The walk serves as a fund raiser for the Western Sonoma County Historical Society and has come to be a celebrated event by Sebastopol residents and visitors alike.
Barbara Bull, the previous vice president of the Western Sonoma County Historical Society, created the cemetery walk in 2002 but tragically passed away shortly after the first commemoration. As a tribute to Bull and the small group who helped her with planning and organizing the event, the occasion has continued to live on through those who currently run the Historical Society. This event is not only fun, but informative as well!
