Summer is here, which means that one of the great American traditions has finally begun: the humble county fair!


If you want a place to eat fried dough, ride a Tilt-A-Whirl that’s actively falling apart, and see some of the most roided up cows you’ll ever seen in your life, then your local county fair is the place to be. Plus, if you’re lucky, you might live in a community that has its own unique local celebration, such as the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee.


Every year, residents gather to make frogs jump. According to one attendee, the rules are as follows: “You have one minute to get the frog to jump. The frog must start completely on the pad. You cannot touch the frog once it leaves the pad. The distance is measured from the pad to the third leap, longest distance wins. Also, If you beat the world record you earn $20k.”


Here are some of the greatest clips from the event:
