WELCOME TO COTATI: THE HUB OF SONOMA COUNTY!
Welcome to the “Hub of Sonoma County,” the city of Cotati. Cotati was
founded in 1893 and incorporated in 1963 and is one of only two cities in
the United States based on a hexagonal design. We are located in one of
the most beautiful areas in California and are conveniently located a short distance
from both rural and cosmopolitan pursuits. Cotati offers a location with small town
charm with access to larger urban centers. And our proximity to Sonoma State Univer-
sity includes an infusion of youthful energy to our town’s commerce.
With the support of the community through Measure G, Cotati has been able to
bring back our recreation programs, which has been a high priority of the City Council
for quite some time. As Cotati’s recreational opportunities have begun to develop, we
have realized a need to reach our community with information about our ongoing and
upcoming programs and events through this Activity Guide, as well as the City website,
social media, utility newsletters, and our online registration page for Parks and Recre-
ation programs. In our guide, you will find information regarding our school year classes
and camps, special events, and more. There’s sure to be something for everyone!
As we continue to move forward, you will see even more improvements for our Parks
and Recreation Department. This Fall and Winter, you can expect to see new and con-
tinuing community events, camps, and classes, including new farm based programs
with the Veronda-Falletti Ranch. If you are looking for programs not currently offered,
drop us a line at awilson@cotaticity.org with your suggestions.
We look forward to seeing you all enjoying Cotati as we strive to keep small city
charm and continue to make Cotati a wonderful place to work, live, and play!

FALL/WINTER 2019-20 / 3
DEAR FRIENDS,
More than 250 of Cotati’s businesses and individuals are members of the
Chamber of Commerce. There are many reasons why they join, but one is our
bi-weekly online newsletter. In it they find items of interest such as special
events like the Cotati Music Festival, Oktoberfest, Farmers’ Market, Kids Day and
Holiday Cheer; deals on local items and stories about interesting people and places.
A recent story was about the Cotati Speedway built in 1920 near the Cotati railroad
tracks. Sadly it only lasted for two years but the wood from that track was used to
construct some of the buildings in town. One of those was the Redwood Café whose
floor was made from that wood. Another interesting fact about Cotati: the Jim Boggio
statue in La Plaza Park, created to honor Boggio who started the Accordion Festival,
has a real accordion cast in the bronze. Check it out. There’s so much more to be found
in the Chamber newsletter and around town.
You don’t have to be a member to receive the newsletter. Just drop an email to
chamber@cotati.org and we’ll add you to the list.
Get to know your chamber and member businesses on starting on page 24. And
when you can, please shop local to benefit your community.
Feel free to stop by the office, call us with questions or follow us on Facebook,
Instagram and/or Twitter.

OLIVER’S MARKET BAKERY Oliver’s Market, 546 East Cotati Avenue | 707 795-9501
oliversmarket.com/store/cotati
Marghi Sulas, bakery coordinator at Oliver’s Market says “We
bake the world a better place.” Sulas and her team of artisans
love creating and are known for their fancy cakes, pastries and
sweets. One of the fun and exciting favorites is the Princess
Cake which is a vanilla cake, layered with a hint of raspberry
jam and a blend of pastry cream and whipped cream, with a
beautifully-color Marzipan covering. It brings a lovely surprise
when cut.
The glass cases in the Oliver’s bakery are filled with six and
eight-inch sized cakes topped with fresh flowers, seasonal
fruits and shaved Belgian chocolate, among other toppings.
Icings, mousses, curds and ganaches are made in-house and
use locally-made ingredients whenever possible. Selections are
continually changing, highlighting the best of what is in season.
Specialty coffees as well as smoothies and juices, cookies
and pastries, pies and doughnuts, round out the Oliver’s
Market Bakery.
FEATURE
EL PASO BAKERY 8274 Old Redwood Hwy | 707 665-9068
A small but delicious spot is El Paso Bakery which has
something extra not normally seen in a bakery. In addition
to specialty custom cakes (most popular is tres leches) they
serve scoops of ice cream, found nowhere else in town. Get
a cone or a cup on a warm day and spend a few minutes
out on the patio watching downtown Cotati go by.
El Paso Bakery makes a mixture of Mexican and French
pastries, including the stand-out pink Conchas, Mexican sweet
bread. They make beautiful specialty cakes for birthdays,
weddings and other of life’s events. Their flan is authentic and
delicious. Their cookies and Mexican breads are outstanding and
the friendly owners and staff make visitors feel welcome, like
old friends over the past 14 years they have been in business.
Morning breakfast bagels are served warm and tasty.
“A delicious little Mexican bakery, always friendly and great
prices. They have tons of delicious traditional Mexican breads
and pastries from conchas to cuernos, and lots more,” says
Tony Sarg, a recent visitor to El Paso Bakery.
It’s not just little girls who are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Sometimes
it’s about places that make you feel special—like a bakery! There are plenty of exceptional
bakeries all within a 2-mile radius in sweet little Cotati. Looking toward the holidays, the
bakeries are gearing up for sweet treats and savories to make your gatherings special.

YOUR SWEET EXPECTATIONS8099 La Plaza | 707 285-2013
YourSweetExpectations.com
One of the most traditional bakeries in town is Your Sweet
Expectations. This gourmet dessert bakery and café is
lead by owner Carolyn Bessé. Carolyn and her talented
bakers and artists create custom theme and specialty
cakes for any occasion. But cakes are only one part of the
experience. Each day you can find the bakery cases filled
with cupcakes, cookies, pastries and other delectables, in
addition to breakfast items, sandwiches and savories.
A special treat is Carolyn’s signature icing called WCCCI.
Tasting like heaven, it’s made from a recipe incorporating
whip cream and cream cheese!
In 2018, Carolyn won the award for “Best in Taste”
cake at the Sonoma County Art of Desserts competition.
Carolyn and team create wedding cakes, custom cookies,
cupcakes, special occasion cakes and custom desserts to
delight guests and party planners across California. Each is
a work of art, from attractive, elegant designs to the moist,
mouth-watering taste of the cake.
RED BIRD BAKERY 556 East Cotati Avenue | 707 521-9838
redbirdbakery.com
New this year to Cotati is Red Bird Bakery, where Artisan
breads, baked goods, custom cakes, pastries, and delights
are made in the early hours of each day, often selling out
before the day is done. Their family name, Cermak, is Czech.
It translates to ‘red bird’ which they thought was a catchy
name for a bakery, says Linda Cermak. Isaac’s dad always
wanted to open a bakery with Isaac and Linda. That plan was
realized in Red Bird.
Beautifully decorated cakes, fancy desserts and breads are
influenced by the seasons and the market. Both Isaac, in bread
making, and Linda, as a pastry chef, have vast experience and
have worked at award-winning bakeries such as the The Model
Bakery in Napa and Della Fattoria in Petaluma. The Cermak’s
make the most of local and regional markets, incorporating
nature’s bounty into their recipes, creating homemade jams,
pickles, syrups and spreads in addition to sweets and breads.
Hungry for lunch? They also make delicious sandwiches
and salads.
“We love making hand-crafted, delicious, and nourishing
food to feed our children and, by extension, our family of
customers,” says Isaac. And they do catering!
SIFT DESSERT BAR 7582 Commerce Blvd. | 707 792-1681
siftdessertbar.com
Owner Andrea Dallus of Sift had one brief but powerful
vision for her bakery when she started just over 10 years ago:
Bring happiness to celebrations nationwide. Sift is known for
its cupcakes and its many flavor options, including Lemony
Snicket, Ooh La La (Red Velvet), Pink Champagne, Samoa
and so many others. They base all of their desserts from 14
main flavor profiles. From those flavors, 58 dessert items are
created!
But because they are a dessert bar (not just a cupcakery),
they also carry French macarons, whoopie cookies, pies, cakes,
cruffles, (cake on a stick without the stick), ice cream sammies,
cake shakes and frosting shots. Each and every dessert is
outstanding and served with a smile!
Sift creations have appeared in People Magazine and were
the featured cupcakes at actress Tamera Mowry’s wedding and
baby showers. In 2011, Sift took first place the Food Network’s
CUPCAKE WARS in the wedding category.
Have some thoughts on a new flavor? They love new ideas.

development of skills necessary to become a future Camp Coun-
selor. The CIT will be working with children ages 5 to 12 years old.
While this training is specific to summer camps, the CIT will find

ly, the CIT will learn the following: * How to plan and implement
large and small group activities * How to manage small groups of
children * Basic techniques of positive reinforcement and disci-
pline * Basic techniques of behavior management
CITs will be trained with the oversight of a City of Cotati

panelists will share stories of three particular citizens who lived in the community from the 1920s to the 2010s:
