In focus: Scenes from the Toledo Cheese Days frog jumping competition

Posted
It was a hopping good time on Friday evening during the Toledo Cheese Days frog jumping contest. It's a tradition that dates back to 1981.
 
Each jumper gets 30 seconds and can do anything but touch the frog to get it to move. The frog’s total jump distance in that time limit is added together, resulting in their total distance. At the end of the competition, the top three jumpers get cash prizes.
 
Toledo's annual Cheese Days festival began Thursday and ended Sunday.
