Sacramento, CA — 36 lawmakers and staffers at the state capitol, along with six media members, took part in a frog jump on Tuesday to help celebrate the upcoming Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee.

Hosted this year by Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil, she noted, “The Frog Jump is always one of my favorite events of the year. It brings people together, lifts spirits, and never fails to surprise us. Thank you to everyone who came out to participate and cheer each other on, and a special thanks to Laurie Giannini, Miss Calaveras, and the entire frog jump team for making today such a success. Congratulations to this year’s winners, and don’t forget – the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jump Jubilee is just around the corner, May 15–18.”
