slide5-amador_county_fairs_opening_day_to_feature_kids_day_parade.pngAmador County – The Amador County Fair once again plans a Kids Parade to mark the start of the fair on Opening Day, Thursday, July 29th. Sign-ups for the parade are 8:15 to 9 a.m. at Plymouth City Hall. Costume judging is 9:15 a.m. and the parade starts at 9:30 a.m. This year’s Kid’s Parade will have a Safari theme, to match the Fair’s slogan of “It’s a Jungle Out There.” Admission to the Fair for kids 12 and under is free until 6 p.m, only on Kids Day. Every day is “Dress Like a Pirate Day” at the Amador County Fair & anyone dressed like a pirate will be admitted free until 6 p.m. (Captain Jack Sparrow will be “recruiting his crew” throughout the fair). Every child who participates in the parade will be given free carnival tickets courtesy of Ken Johnston, Carnival of Fun. There are plenty of gentler rides for smaller children as well as the bigger rides for older kids. Kids Day will once again be “tobacco free,” with no smoking or tobacco use allowed on the fairgrounds. Kids are also encouraged to bring their Grandparents on Friday, Seniors Day.
