Great news! The Petaluma Signs Project has surpassed its $22,000 goal to restore the iconic neon chick sign at the former Poehlmann Hatchery. Thanks to an outpouring of community support that began in August 2025, this beloved piece of Petaluma history will shine brightly once again.

Any additional donations made here will fund a contingency reserve to cover unexpected expenses that often arise during restoration work.

Photo above shows the sign being removed on April 16, 2026. Next stop Vallejo where it will be restored at the former Barber Sign Company shop now owned and managed by FastSigns.

Looking forward to feeling the glow of pride when this landmark sign is restored, which, if all goes as planned, will take place this year, 91 years after it was installed.

This campaign is a proud partnership of the Petaluma Signs Project, San Francisco Neon, and the Petalumans of Yesteryear.
