While the final numbers have yet to be tallied, the strong turnouts for most of the Fair’s popular events was an indication that this was a year to rival any other. Traditional fair events, including the CCPRA rodeo, destruction derby and tractor pull all had sell out or close to sell out crowds. The fair is always a great place to catch a wide variety of talented musical and stage acts, and this year was no exception. Local and regional performers included Mario Manzini performing like Houdini, Chrystal Image, Hero’s Last Mission, Erin McKinney & HoTT LeDD, Whiskey Dawn, the Dave Russell Band and James Garner with a standout tribute to the late Johnny Cash. “Bringing people together is really what the Amador County Fair is all about,” said fair CEO Troy Bowers shortly before the opening of the fair last Thursday. “I so look forward to this every year.” This year’s theme, “County Fair Safari – It’s a Jungle Out There!” was also a hit. Visitors seemed to get a big kick out of the jungle decorations and fair employees wearing safari caps. The theme was made all the more authentic by a special jungle animal exhibit that included boa constrictors, scorpions, porcupines and geckos. “This is all so entertaining,” said Donna Priestley, a resident of Lodi and first time fair attendee. “I can guarantee that if it is always this fun in Amador County I will bring my family back to the fair every year.” TSPN will relay the results of various fair events throughout the week, including the destruction derby and the Miss Amador Contest.
