Frog Jumping Contest & Turtle Race

blackgold

I love going to small town festivals.

They have some of the best events!

Black Gold Days in Glenpool is a small nearby festival.

I was so excited to see they had a Frog Jumping contest!

They are so much fun to watch.

Little boys and girls brought frogs of all sizes to compete with.

My favorites are the ones that jump into the crowd.

Picture people jumping around and girls screaming.

Hilarious.

Next up were the turtle races.

contained

 

This is how they keep the turtles contained until it is race time.

There is just a big circle drawn around them.

First one to reach the outside of the circle wins.

There was a turtle fashion show also.

So funny!

If you are not sure how to find events like this in your area just look up festivals, go to their page, and look up events.

I try to always look up the event list before going to a festival.

You get to see so many fun things that way!

Anyone have a festival they never miss?
