REMINDER - KIDS PARADE OPENS THE AMADOR COUNTY FAIR THURSDAY
The Amador County Fair opens every year with a Kids Parade
from downtown Plymouth
to the Fairgrounds. The annual parade, July 25, encourages everyone to get
their creative juices flowing, don a costume reflecting the Fair’s theme, and
drag out the wagon, the stroller and the wheelbarrow. At 9:30 the parade
marches from downtown Plymouth
to the magic that awaits at the Amador County Fair.
Sign-ups are at Plymouth
City Hall from 8:15 –
9:00 a.m. Judging for the best theme costumes is at 9:15 and the parade kicks
off at 9:30. Every child who participates in the parade will be given free
carnival tickets courtesy of Ken Johnston, Johnston Amusements. There are
plenty of gentler rides for smaller children as well as the thrilling
loop-de-loop extravaganzas the older kids anticipate.
Admission to the Fair for kids 12 and under is free until 6:00
p.m, on Kids Day, July 25.
