SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the first stop of Wondo's Golden Boot Tour will be in Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski's hometown of Danville from 3 - 4 p.m. PT on Sunday, Feb. 13 at Norm's Bar and Grill.

The De La Salle graduate will be on hand along with members of the Earthquakes front office to talk about the 2011 season. Wondolowski will participate in a question and answer session with fans and a raffle for an autographed jersey will be conducted. A picture and autograph session will follow the event.

Wondo's Golden Boot Tour gives fans an opportunity to meet the Bay Area native and 2010 Budweiser Golden Boot winner and fans are encouraged to bring friends and family to the event. Additional tour dates will be announced at a later date.

Wondolowski scored 18 goals in 2010. He scored a franchise record nine game-winning goals and accounted for an astonishing 52.9 percent of the team's scoring output for the season. That mark was good enough for second all-time in MLS history.
