Amador County – A three-day benefit in June celebrates Amador County’s living history at the Amador County Fair Grounds in Plymouth.

Promoters are holding the event because: “We need you to save our fair.” The events are free, family fun and donations will be accepted.

Amador Home & Lifestyle Show will be held on Friday, June 8, Saturday, June 9, and Sunday, June 10. The Home & Lifestyle Show will have products and services for home, garden and leisure time. It includes home energy saving products, seminars, pest control, crafts, wine, beer and food.

Amador County Fair Aid is Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10. Fair Aid features all day music, a dutch oven cook-off, a rib cook-off, beer, food pairing, a horse show, a horse shoe tournament and kids’ activities. The event will help save the Amador County Fair.

The Amador Sawmill & Mining Association will be “operating under a full head of steam” to run its First Annual Steam Power Exposition, Saturday and Sunday, June 9 & 10. The Steam exhibition, in support of Amador County Fair Aid, includes a 1904 Corliss steam engine, a 1920 Sullivan air compressor, a 1900 steam sawmill, a 1945 Triple Drum steam logging donkey, a 1918 Navy “K” Steam Cutter Engine, and an 1890s Smith & Sayer steam engine.

There will also be unique models and full size steam engines. All three events have free admission and free parking.
