T he Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras, written by Mark Twain in the summer of 1860, inspires not only the annual Calaveras Frog Jump the third week of each May, but also the frog in the Calaveras Wine Association's logo. Yes, there are a plethora of frogs jumping during the fair, and the competitions run each of the four days of the fair.
Measurement is taken after three jumps from the center of the stage.
