There Was A Whole Lot of Frog Kissing Going on Last Night!....With Video~By John Hamilton
Angels Camp, CA....Wednesday eve the newly refurbished Frogeteria at Frogtown was filled for the Annual Media Night as a start to the 80th Annual Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee. Ray Malerbi, Laurie Giannini, their staff and boards threw quite a bash. The evening is an annual event where they honor their sponsors and community members. It is also the big night where the Saddle and Miss Calaveras contestants are introduced. The highlight of every media event is of course "Frog Kissing." One of the prices of that has to be paid to enter one of the pageants is the obligatory kissing of the frogs. Some of the girls seemed to revel in the amphibian smooching while others had to just try and get through it...
