In 1865, Samuel l. Clemens (Mark Twain) penned Th e Cel-ebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a tall tale of the life and happenings of the gold rush town, Angels Camp. Th e narrator details a story he heard in a tavern. It is about a frog, Danl Webster, who could out jump any other frog, and a man, Jim Smiley, who was the curiousest man about always betting on anything that turned up you ever see. Th e sto-ry was published and delighted audi-ences worldwide but didn’t appear to have much impact on Calaveras County until much later.

Th e mining town of Angels Camp became incorporated as the City of Angels in 1902. Tents would line narrow, unpaved lanes which were rutted and in rough condi-tion from years of wagon and stage coach use. As the town built up around them, the streets remained in their old state. By 1927, the resi-dents were ready to remedy the de-plorable condition of main street by passing a bond measure to fi nance a paved main street. Th e Angels Camp Boosters, a community ser-vice organization, which began in 1925 and still exists today, decided that a celebration was in order. Th eir original idea was to hold the Days of 49, but a visiting minister, the Rev-erend Brown, suggested they use the famous Mark Twain story theme. Th erefore on May 19 and 20, 1928, the fi rst Jumping Frog Jubilee was held on main street, down town An-gels Camp. Due to the formidable ef-forts of this group of dedicated pro-

moters, including the future Senator, Jesse M. Mayo, the attendance at the fi rst Jumping Frog Jubilee was esti-mated to be 15,000. Th e festivities included a large parade featuring bands, wagons, fl oats and of course the Jumping Frog Contest. Th e win-ner was named Pride of San Joaquin, jockeyed by Louis Fisher of Stockton.

In the 1920s and early 1930s the crowds at the Annual Jumping

Frog Jubilee grew to 25,000 specta-tors. Th e jubilee was suspended in 1933 because of the depression. In 1938 the two events, the County Fair and the Jumping Frog Jubilee were combined. Now over 50,000 people attend the four day event, and thou-sands of frogs are jumped. For the 2012 Fair, we expect to have close to 10,000 frog jump entries as the tradi-tion and excitement grow.

history of thecelebrated

Jumping Frog

Th e Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee is one of the longest running events in the State of California. It earliest roots date back to 1893, held that year in Copperopolis, the fair eventually found a permanent home outside of Angels Camp. In the spirit of the old movie classic “State Fair,” the Calaveras County Fair is a blend of entertainment, exhibits, livestock, arena events, great food and our signature event, the Frog Jump. Th is piece of Americana will have you Leaping to return year aft er year.

Th e Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee has grown to an event with more than 35,000 attendees. It is estimated that the Calaveras County Fair generates approximately 25.5 million dollars in revenues through hotels, res-taurants, retail, payroll and other related revenues.

Th e top 50 frogs qualify for the International Frog Jump Grand Finals, which are held on Sunday aft ernoon of the Jubilee. Th e cur-rent worlds record was set in 1986 by Rosie the Ribeter. Rosie jumped 21 53/4. Th e cash prize for break-ing the world record is $5000.

Th e frogs jumped at the Jubilee live in our “Frog Spa” during the four days of Fair. Th e Frog Spa is open for tours daily. Th ey are treated with the upmost care and respect.

In 1933 the California Fish and Game Commission became involved in order to regulate and protect the welfare of the Califor-

nia bullfrog. In 1995 the Board of Directors of the 39th District Ag-ricultural Association adopted the Frog Welfare Policy. Underscoring the Fairs commitment to treat the frogs in a humane manner.

Professional Frog Teams travel from all over the state to compete. Past champions get to camp at our beautiful Frog Pond. If you are looking for some tips on how to jump, fi nd one of our Frog Teams. Th ey are true professionals!

Th e Jumping Frog Jubilee is held the 3rd weekend of every May. Th e Jubilee starts with a chil-drens parade in downtown Angels Camp and ends with a Destruc-tion Derby on Sunday evening. Th e Calaveras County Fair has a unique history and a bright future.

The Jumping Frog Jubilee

Canaan Smith will be the headlining act on May 19 at the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee. Possessing a distinctive voice that combines a breezy cool vibe with heart-on-his-sleeve emotional honesty, Canaan Smith has emerged as one of country music’s most compelling new artists. Behind his easy-going boy next door charm lies an accom-plished storyteller equally gift ed at romantic ballads, up tempo anthems and poignant slice of life songs that convey universal truths.

Th e young artist’s ability to draw from such a vivid emotional canvas comes from a life well lived. Equal parts sensitive songwriter and fear-less adventurer, Canaan was writing and performing around Music City when he was recruited to compete on the hit television reality show “Th e Amazing Race,” traveling to such locales as Dubai, Japan, Vietnam and Cambodia. However to him the most exciting adventure was seeing his reputation as a songwriter grow as he scored cuts by Jason Aldean, Billy Ray and Cyrus/Amy Grant and other acts and scored his fi rst top ten hit as a songwriter.

“It’s all about the stories,” Canaan says when asked about his love of country music. “You can listen to a country song and it will raise the hair on your arms. I’m a people person and I love being able to connect with people. I’ve always admired the way my heroes made real connections with country fans; I want to follow in their footsteps.”

Canaan has craft ed a memorable debut album that showcases his strong, supple vocals and his insightful, evocative songwriting. Th e lead

single, “We Got Us,” is a tender romantic ballad that anyone who has ever been in love and struggling against all odds will relate to instantly. “I Like It Th at Way” is an appealing up tempo come on. “All in My Head” is a vibrant track that oozes with personality while “Prettiest Girl in Town” demonstrates Canaan’s depth as a songwriter as he entertains the listener with a breezy tune about a pretty girl then lands an emotional punch as you realize that pretty girl is a youngster battling cancer.

Th e price of the concert is included with admission. Th e Show will be at 8:00 p.m. on the main stage following the Friends of the Fair $1,000 drawing.

At this year’s Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee, the Miss Calaveras hopeful that takes home the crown will also take home the title of the 75th Calav-eras Queen. Th e Miss Calaveras pageant, which was once called the Belle of the Camp, continues to be a treasured part of the fair as it reach-es this anniversary. Th e contest will take place on Th ursday evening, May 17 at 8:00pm.

“Th is community is small, but strong. I fi rmly believe that the whole community supports all of the children that are raised here, and the pageant is one of the ways that the community shows their support and gives their young women a plat-form to grown in confi dence, talent and courage,” comments Pageant Coordinator Lacy Neufeld.

Th e contest consists of the fol-lowing categories: the interview, health and fi tness, talent, and eve-ning gown. Th e candidates begin preparing about two months prior to the competition, with rehears-als taking place one to two times a week. Once a winner is crowned, they will then attend community events including the Pow Wow in Valley Springs, the PAWS Elephant Grape Stomp, the 4th of July Parade in Arnold, and the Grape Stomp in Murphys.

“Th eir main duty is to give back to the county which has given them the honor of representing them, through volunteerism and poise,” says Neufeld. Ultimately, the Miss Calaveras pageant is a staple at the fair that plays a part in the com-munity throughout the year.
