Muley at 2012 Leland, MS, Frog Festival!

So, what are you doing the last weekend in September? 

YOU'RE MISSING OUT if you don't attend the Leland, MS, Frog Fest celebrating the boyhood home of Muppets creator Jim Henson, and the Birthplace of the Frog!

At the helm of the event is the Jim Henson Delta Boyhood Museum. 

This event will take place all day on September 29, 2012, at the Rainbow Connection Bridge (the dedication of said bridge which we visited last year).  Also in attendance last year was Sesame Street's own Muppeteer, Fran Brill.
