A sure sign that spring is right around the corner is the Mark Twain Library’s Annual Frog Frolic – a children’s country fair featuring games and prizes, crafts for kids to make, giant inflatables, an extraordinary silent auction, a bubble garden for toddlers, entertainment, food and more.
The 24th annual Frog Frolic will be held on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Redding Community Center – rain or shine. All proceeds from the fair go to support the Mark Twain Library.
“Our library depends on the funds raised at these major events and this has become a town favorite! I look forward to seeing members of the community work together to support the Frolic and the Mark Twain Library,” said Stephanie Oulton, Frog Frolic Committee chairperson.
Coordinating this year’s volunteer effort is Frog Frolic Committee member Ronna Brier. According to Ms. Brier, this 6-hour event needs at least 200 volunteers, spread out over four shifts. “We are so grateful to volunteers of the past, to those who continue to return year after year, and to those who are stepping in for the first time,” Ms. Brier said.
Adults and teenagers (6th grade and older) are invited to register. Volunteers may to choose to help work the food tent, prizes, games, inflatables or crafts.
