C l u b  H i s t o r y 
The Adobe Squares of Petaluma was formed in 1971. Prior to 1971 two square dance clubs existed in Petaluma, the Petaluma HipDippers and the Petaluma Whirlers (PHD’s). Both clubs had been in existence for many years. In late 1970 the two clubs decided to merge into one new club, Adobe Squares of Petaluma. The name for the new club was derived from a local California history attraction, Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park. The first club caller was Ralph Thomas, then Skip Graham, followed by the late Nate Bliss and our present caller Scot Byars.

Mission of the Club
To provide friendly relationship and companionship, and to promote an active interest and participation of its members in the area and development of the square dance movement.

Club Activities:
  • Picnic: Each year we hold a picnic for club members and their families and guests
  • Holiday Dinner: A holiday dinner is held each year (usually the Sunday after Thanksgiving) at a local restaurant.
  • Holiday Potluck:  A holiday potluck is held each year, usually in mid-December, on a regular workshop night.
  • St. Patrick’s Day Dinner & Dance:  We hold a Saint Patrick's Day Dinner each year and invite other clubs to attend. This is both a fun night and fund-raiser for the club.
