Opeongo Mountain Resort's
2011
Ever since Mark Twain wrote his jumping frog story folks around the world have been holding frog jumping contests. The Opeongo version of this contest requires that all frogs be properly named, professionally handled and humanely treated. Every frog is released back into his or her environment as soon as the contest is over. Awards are given in unique categories that usually match the number of frogs entered. Everyone, including the frogs, seems to have a good time.
Below are some photos from this year's contest.

A proud handler displays his educated frog and another contestant learns that this is a frog only event. (But I would have loved to see that turtle jump!)

For example: There is the Owner / Handler look alike award as well as the KISS Award for the tongue longer than Gene Simmons.
There is even a Miss Piggy Award for the most kissable frog lips, Every frog goes away with something.

Another successful frog jumping contest goes into the books with all contestants released unharmed back into the wild.
