Join us at the market on Friday, July 21st for a wine tasting, music, food truck, 50/50, and basket auction, all to benefit the library and the preservation of our historic building. Please see the details below. Donation jars benefiting the library are at the registers all season too! Thank you Red Top and we hope to see you there!
FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2023 AT 6 PM – 8 PM
as the crowd gathered on the back lawn of the Vincentown Library to celebrate the Second Annual Frog Jump, organized by Mrs Pew (aka Ms Kim). Registration was brisk with 21 frogs and trainers stepping up to compete. Hoppin Hank, Captain America, Jumping Jimmy and Firecracker (to name just a few) were all proudly entered into the event by their Frog Jockeys.
Once all registrations were in, Ms Kim proceeded to explain the rules to the contestants.
This year we were again fortunate to have the “professional” measurement team of Professor Bullfrog and Amphibious with their highly technical equipment (the yardstick).
Following much strategizing, the Frog Jockeys and Frogs stepped up to the starting line.
Some of the frogs had to be sweet talked into a jump, some needed encouragement and others seemed to know the game and took off jumping in all directions.
Many of the contestants were repeat performers, they knew the routine, and knew how to encourage their frog.
Medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place jumps were awarded. (I forgot to write down to include – will post later today!)
1st Place: Nate Coyle &. Beans
2nd Place: Luke Hagerthey & Frank
3rd Place: James & Captain America
Finally, our award for the best Frog catching story went to Mia for submitting a great little hand written, illustrated story!
Thanks to Ms Kim and all the volunteers helping to set up, clean up, man the food stand, help with children’s games, register measure and tally the event.
It was a great evening
Thanks to everyone for coming out to support the Library!
*All frogs were promised to be returned to their homes to tell the story of their participation in the first Vincentown Library Frog Jump!
