Hot weather throughout Amador County this Summer Solstice weekend encouraged many residents to take it easy and stay indoors, while other took advantage of the sunshine and explored what our county has to offer. On Saturday, the longest day of the year, the Jackson pool welcomed a full capacity crowd, and Sutter Creek’s long-running Black Bart Day’s drew families from far and wide who were eager to see an authentic recreation of a western gun shootout. Large crowds were also spotted attending two local plays- Red Herring, at the Volcano Amphitheatre, and the world premiere of The Ox Herder at the Sutter Creek theatre. This weekend was another reminder that there is no shortage of fun activities taking place across AmadorCounty.
