Sacramento, CA….–Calaveras County’s Celebrated Jumping Frogs hop into Sacramento on May 16, joining Senator Tom Berryhill and Assembly member Frank Bigelow to stage the 44thannual State Capitol Frog Jump. The event is the final stop on the Jumping Frogs’ annual goodwill tour building excitement for the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee — May 17-20 at Frogtown in Angels Camp.
This year the Jumping Frog Jubilee celebrates its 90th birthday year. The first Frog Jump was staged in Angels Camp in 1928 to celebrate the paving of Main Street and the event has grown to international prominence over the past 90 years.
The State Capitol Frog Jump is a Sacramento tradition cosponsored by Calaveras County’s elected representatives in the California Legislature — Berryhill represents Senate District 14 and Bigelow represents the 5th Assembly District.
Last year more than 50 elected officials, legislative staffers and media representatives vied for bragging rights and the opportunity to move on to the Jumping Frog Jubilee Grand Finals.
The Jumping Frog’s will host a 90th Birthday Party on opening day of the Fair, Thursday, May 17, which is Kids Day. Kids 12 and under get free admission to the fair and free frog jumping. The 90th Birthday Party will start at noon at the Main Stage – complete with cupcakes, noisemakers and more! For complete details, go to www.frogtown.org
