San Andreas, CA...We had already posted that Marcia Thompson & "Morph" had taken the top stop but we thought we would pass along some random video clips and over 140 photos of the event. Jockeying our local mascots seems easy enough until you try it. On Tuesday it seemed to take a woman's coaxing to get our green friends to leap. Some of the biggest guys in the crowd from the public works department barely got them to budge. There was one petite female whom shall remain nameless who not only scared her frog into movement but scared many in attendance as well. One has to assume from the harmless looking packaging on the outside that her bark must be worse than her bite.....

The 2014 Fair & Frog Jump Lead Up Events....Sponsors Night & Friends, CVB & Chamber Mixer (Video Enclosed) |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 05/11/2014 12:50 PM
|
Angels Camp, CA...As the momentum builds every year for the rural America tradition, fun and pageantry that is the Fair & Frog Jump Jubilee some events stand out as signature events. It is during these events that our local hazing hits high gear. One of the rights of passage for any prospective beauty queen here is to kiss a few frogs. Not a fake, close but not quite, but actual lips on a green amphibian. Why does it matter....well if your not from here you wouldn't understand. Also, if you are an elected, or hope to become one, planting lips somewhere on our green royalty from time to time just has to be done. If you don't and it becomes public knowledge you run the risk of your quest being in vain, or if you somehow managed to get elected without kissing a frog the only way to remove this electoral curse is to publicly and repeatedly make amorous protestations towards our green citizens. The best photos are the ones right after these in the gallery. These are the ones that catch the realization that they did actually kiss a frog....
Over 180 Photos Above...Very Few Are Actually of Frog Kissing. Most Are Of The Events. Video Is Enclosed.... |

Copperopolis, CA...The 2014 Hot Copper Car show sponsored by the Lake Tulloch Lions Club brought hundreds of pieces of rolling art to Copperopolis Town Square last weekend.

For 40 Years The "Boys From The Pond" Have Painted The Town Green |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 05/08/2014 09:08 PM

Angels Camp, CA...Last night we had an anonymous phone call that some neighborhood miscreants were vandalizing Main Street. We had to go see what mischief they were up too. What we found was a group of young men smiling and telling tales of daring do. For four decades they have been meeting in the dark every year to paint the town green. Last night was their 40th Anniversary of their painting ritual a few days before the Fair & Frog Jump....
