Friends of the Fair Finance more Frogtown Improvements
Frogtown, CA ... The Friends of the Fair have spent some $24,000 over the past two months improving facilities at the Fairgrounds in Angels Camp. The scope of the group's financial support ranges from a power upgrade at the Arena and Stage to support for the Pro Rodeo - and much more. It also has financed mini computers for seven Frog Stops to create Fair awareness in communities around the county. Fair CEO Laurie Giannini explains the Friends' impact at Frogtown has gained public recognition for major projects like construction of the Ranch House hospitality center and new south entrance to the Fairgrounds. "But," she emphasizes, "a lot of their good works are behind the scenes - like purchasing a new refrigerator for the Frogateria this year, along with 40 banquet tables."
This grass roots group is an action based organization formed in 2008 as a non-profit foundation for the sole purpose of enhancing, supporting and creating additional community involvement and participation in the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee. Check www.frogtown.org for information on The Friends of the Fair and the locations of the Frog Stops at businesses around Calaveras County where you can pick up entry forms and other details of the event.
