Discover Calaveras Hopped into The Ranch House at Frogtown Last Night!
Posted by: John_Hamilton on 05/12/2011 06:53 AM
Frogtown, USA...The Calaveras Visitors Bureau's Annual Discover Calaveras Series started off it's 2011 run last night at the Ranch House at Frogtown. The attendees were given a preview of this years "Pirates of the Carrots and Beans" themed Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee. Fair Marketing Director Lauri Gianini gave a great presentation hitting the high points of what should be a great fair. Frogtown is gorgeous this year and the grounds look better than ever. The fair made a renewed effort to engage the local community a couple of years ago and it has really paid off. One big dividend is the "Friends of the Fair" community group that has been a driving force in improvements like the Ranch House that provides a new meeting and entertainment venue and the new entry sign on Hwy 49 that improves the curb appeal of Frogtown.
