Amador County – This year’s Fourth of July holiday marks the 234th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. As always, patriotic Amador County citizens will be out in force to celebrate this historic event at a number of events taking place throughout the County over the three-day weekend. Starting at dusk on Saturday, thousands of people are expected to gather in Jackson to view the annual Jackson Lions Club fireworks show. Families and friends will gather on blankets on the Jackson Junior High School football field as firefighters stand by at a safe distance to ensure the sparks don’t ignite any fires. The annual Volcano parade will be held a day early this year on July 3rd, beginning at 10 a.m. Another annual event, the Upcountry 4th of July Carnival, will take place on Sunday at Pioneer Park on Buckhorn Ridge Road in Pioneer. The upcountry event is always reportedly well-staged, and this year’s schedule includes a “Patriotic Cowboy Service,” cowboy demonstrations, and a carnival featuring waterslides, a bounce house, games, prizes, fire trucks and hay rides. The event stretches all day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Plymouth will host a parade and various celebratory activities on its Main Street beginning mid-morning on Sunday. You can also join the City of Ione for their popular downtown celebration scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. That will include food, drinks, rides, games, live-music, a bike parade, a pie-eating contest and street vendors. If you’re looking to head into the mountains, a Barbeque is planned on the 4th at the famous Plasse’s Resort. Finally, classic cars and hot rods will be featured Sunday at the annual “Cru-zin in the Vineyard” car show at Terra d’Oro Winery. An “all-American” barbeque lunch will be available for purchase. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and costs $25. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. -
