Calaveras Jumping Frog Jubilee

Every third week of May there is a county fair in Calaveras (gold country of California) that is best known for hosting the Jumping Frog Jubilee. Participants compete by encouraging a bullfrog to jump in a straight line and at the end of the weekend the person+frog duo with the longest jump is crowned frog jump champion! The world record has been unbroken since 1986 held by a frog named Rosie the Ribbiter.
