Description of Event

The annual All American Porch Sale, is on the first Friday and Saturday of every June from 8 - 5. It features interesting, vintage and antique items for sale in this Gold Rush town in Amador County. Taking place in the heart of town and at participating residences, this is a wonderful way to find treasures and discover the charm of Amador City. Dating from the late 1850s, there is a lot to see and explore!

'The Sale' was founded by Sandy Jurisich, owner of Country Living in Amador City. Each year she collects nostalgic small furniture items, garden art and other goodies for the sale on her porch. Americana, Country and Shabby chic treasures are abundant.

In the early days, those in the know gathered on the driveway 45 minutes before opening. A few years later, shop keepers in town wanted to put wonderful 'finds' out in front of their stores for sale. Then, locals joined in.

So, after two plus decades, this gathering is the read deal. Many of the shops in town open early for visitors.

Come, join us for this wonderful event. Find that treasure you have been hunting for for years, discover new-old treasures you have never seen before, or just come and enjoy good food and the hospitality of our historic town in the heart of Gold Rush country!

The landscape gardener is the husband of the house.

There are a few steps up to the smaller items on the porch. Furniture and larger items are on the driveway.

Americana is a definite theme of the sale. Country items are also featured.

There is a definite country and shabby chic theme throughout.

Whenever available, larger garden art is displayed in the driveway.

Smaller items, antique, vintage and great finds are set up on the porch.

Good friends join in getting things set up for this two day event.

Sale items from Sandy's store, County Living in Amador City are among the treasures.

Some head for the larger pieces in the driveway.

It is unusual that anyone leaves without finding at least one treasure.

At the rare lulls, Husband John takes a break. You might ask: Where are all the people? Shopping at the other locations in town! Eating at Buffalo Chips, Andrae's Bread and Cheese Shop or The Imperial Hotel!
