National Frog Jumping Day

Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog was Mark Twain's first short story, published in 1865. He changed the name and published it as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County later in life. This same tale also had a third title, The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.

Rosie the Ribeter, who jumped 21 feet, 5-3/4 inches, set the new frog jumping record in 1986.

While Mark Twain or perhaps the Calaveras County Fair may have you believe frog jumping competitions take place in Calaveras County, that is simply not true. They happen around the country and with greater frequency than one might expect. In 1865, frog jumping competitions were held in other states and municipalities, but the activities have continued across borders in the last century, including this one.' If you live in Michigan, Florida, or Idaho, you may even know of one where you live, say in Michigan, Florida, or Idaho.

We may have to admit, if Mark Twain wrote a story about it, the Calaveras County Frog Jumping Contest would be the most well-known and loved by the author, we may have to admit, we may have to admit it.
