Each of the Sponsors were on hand to show off their Frogs and introduced the lucky charities that will benefit from the sale of the frogs at the Gala Auction on October 25th. Some of those lucky charities include the Calaveras Humane Society, Arnold Rotary, Buttercup Farms, The Michelson Parents Association, Bret Harte Angels & New Sports Complex and more.
