The Fair Refocuses On Community ~By John Hamilton
Frogtown, CA...The Fair Board as expected made some adjustments to the plans for the 2009 Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee. The board and management have received quite a bit of feedback and suggestions from the community meeting last month on what changes the community would like to see. The main and most visible changes for attendees will be a renewed focus on the arena events with Jr. Bull Riding being added. The Rodeo, Horse Events and more will be showcased.

The Fair and Frog Jump will always only be a 4-5 day event. The Board is welcoming feedback on how best to fill the yearly schedule. We will add the Next Community Meeting to our calendar as soon as we know additional details.
