| For the first time, the Amador County Fair is offering six lucky contestants a chance to become the ultimate Amador County Fair Survivor. Six contestants will be chosen to spend the entire duration of the fair, from Thursday, July 30 to Sunday, August 2, 2009, at the fairgrounds in Plymouth. |
| During that time, contestants will be asked to complete several tasks.
