Amador County – The annual free Holiday Hay Rides at Jackson Rancheria, one of the most popular local holiday traditions, returns this year on Monday through Thursday, December 5-15, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Jackson Rancheria Fire Station on Dalton Road. Look for the big tent.

The Holiday Hay Rides feature a festive ride around the extraordinarily decorated Rancheria, which has more than 2.5 million lights, followed by a visit with Santa for the kids and refreshments for everyone.

The Rancheria recommends dressing warmly and bringing your camera for this great family photo opportunity.

The Rancheria will also be collecting toys for the annual Jackson Rancheria/Amador County Sheriff’s Office Christmas Toy Drive.

The Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel is located at 12222 New York Ranch Road in Jackson. For more information, call 800-822-9466 or visit JacksonCasino.com.
