It's Columbus Day

Today is Columbus Day and it’s one of those holidays where we wonder – what’s open and what’s closed?  Well, here’s the rundown: Amador County public schools are in session but city and county offices, and local agencies including the Amador Water Agency, will be closed. Most banks are closed and State offices, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, will also be closed for Columbus Day. Retail stores and businesses are typically open. The holiday has affected some local government meetings – Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting has been cancelled, Jackson City Council meeting has been moved to Tuesday, and Sutter Creek Planning Commission meeting has been moved to Wednesday night. So get out your holiday decorations and bake those Columbus Day cookies, and if you have the day off today, do something fun!
