SUMMARY:Amador Four Fires
DESCRIPTION:Amador Four Fires returns to the Amador County Fairgrounds on Saturday\, May 3\, 2025\, gathering wineries\, chefs\, and guests for a day that links open-fire cooking with the wines of four benchmark regions\, France’s Rhône Valley\, Italy\, Spain (Iberia)\, and Heritage California. VIP ticket-holders enter at 11:00 AM; general admission follows at 12:00 PM\, and tastings\, food stations\, and music continue until 4:00 PM. \n\n\n\nMore than two dozen Amador producers will pour reserve and limited-production wines alongside gold-medal favorites\, while local restaurants prepare dishes over live flames to match each regional theme. The indoor–outdoor layout leaves room for demonstrations\, a silent auction\, artisan vendors\, and a tasting area pouring locally brewed beer and wines by the glass. Guests can meet winemakers\, attend short talks\, or simply move between the four fire pits sampling as they go. \n\n\n\nTickets are limited. VIP access is $125\, with a small allotment at a $115 pre-release price.  This includes early entry\, parking\, a commemorative glass\, four cuisine tickets\, a meet-and-greet zone\, and a swag bag. General admission is $85 (or $75 pre-release) and opens at noon; Designated Driver admission is $40 and includes food and non-alcoholic beverages. The event is 21-and-over. The fairgrounds are located at 18621 Sherwood Street\, Plymouth\, CA. For details or to purchase tickets\, visit amadorfourfires.com or call 209-245-6992.

SUMMARY:Bus Stop
DESCRIPTION:Running from April 11 through May 17\, Volcano Theatre Company presents Bus Stop\, William Inge’s classic slice‑of‑life drama set in a rural Kansas diner during a blizzard. Stranded bus passengers\, an earnest cowboy smitten with a wary nightclub singer\, a restless professor\, a no‑nonsense sheriff\, and others\, share the long night\, revealing hopes\, heartbreaks\, and unexpected connections that are by turns humorous and tender. First staged on Broadway in 1955\, the play’s intimate portraits of ordinary people still resonate today. \n\n\n\nStaged in the company’s intimate Cobblestone Theatre\, this production surrounds the audience with the warmth of the diner itself\, giving every patron a front‑row feeling only a few feet from the action. \n\n\n\nPerformances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $24 for general admission and $22 for seniors. The Cobblestone Theatre is located at 16121 Main Street\, Volcano\, CA 95689. For tickets and additional details\, visit volcanotheatre.net/bus‑stop or call the box office. This production is proudly sponsored by Sterling Auto Repair.
