Some frogs frustrate their"jockeys" by jumping back toward the launching pad after a spectacular second jump. Like any of nature's creations, frogs unpredictable-that is, unless they have been to Bill Steed's famous ge, Steed's are given a 240-hour frog training course to teach them the fundamentals of frog jumping under pres At Croaker College, the frogs work out in a pool, lift tiny weights, do chin-ups and high dives, eat centipede soup and ladybug salad, and generally prepare for the big day. Do graduates of Croaker College really win frog-jumping contests more often? That's a question lim Steed prefers not to answer. After the winners have been announced and the prizes given, the participants can take their frogs(or return their"rentals") and go home, or they can stay ond enjoy the rest of the Calaveras County Fair. They can listen to country music, view craft displays, attend a horse race, watch a farm animal auction, and more. For those people who nothing quite compares to the excitement of the a frogs, however, there is the consolation of knowing there is next year.
