National Frog Jumping Day 🐸 It's a day to celebrate the humble frog jumping contest made famous by Mark Twain's first short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." The most famous event takes place in California, but frog jumping contests happen in other parts of the country too. If you don't happen to live near one, it's okay too; just jump in a nice pool and relax for the day. khqa.com/chimein | KHQA
