This year's kids' parade on opening Day, July 29, will have a Safari theme, to match the Amador County Fair's slogan of "It's a Jungle Out There."
Participants are encouraged to don a jungle or explorer's outfit, and drag out the wagon, the stroller and the wheelbarrow. The annual Amador County Fair Kids' Parade brings to mind the Pied Piper, as they all merrily head from downtown Plymouth to the magic that awaits them at the Amador County Fair.
Sign-ups are at Plymouth City Hall, from 8:15 to 9 a.m. Judging for the best theme costumes is at 9:15 a.m., and the parade marches off at 9:30 a.m.
Admission to the fair for children 12 and under is free until 6 p.m., only on Kids' Day. Every day is "Dress Like a Pirate Day" at the Amador County Fair and anyone doing so will be admitted free until 6 p.m. Captain Jack Sparrow, just in from the Hawaiian Islands, will be on deck recruiting his crew.
Every child who participates in the parade will be given free carnival tickets courtesy of Ken Johnston, Carnival of Fun. There are plenty of gentler rides for smaller children as well as the thrilling loop-de-loop extravaganzas the older children anticipate.
There will be no smoking or tobacco use allowed on the fairgrounds for kids' day. Children are also encouraged to bring their grandparents on Friday for seniors' day. For more information, visit www.amadorcountyfair.com or call 245-6921.
