The City of Ione made a sweep at this year’s Amador County Fair, winning best City exhibit and taking two Amador Idol first place prizes in the adult and junior singing categories. With a theme of Barnyard Mardi Gras for the fair, each city designed and entered an exhibit to represent their city and the theme. Sponsored by the Ione Business Council Association and the Ione Picnic Association, Ione was honored with a first place award. At another venue, Ione singers in both adult and junior categories sang and won first prize for the title of Amador Idol. Amy Hohn’s rendition of “That’s What I Like About You,” and “At Last” won the adult title. Twelve year old Karly Workman of Ione became Junior Amador Idol, singing “Reflection” from a Disney movie and “I Love You I Do” from the movie Dreamgirls. County winners are invited to move on the State competition. Congratulations to all three winners.
