2014 Frog Fest - October 25th

A fun time as always in a great town located in the Mississippi Delta!  Birthplace of Kermit the Frog and boyhood home of Jim Henson, Leland, MS, has been a home away from home for Muley the Mule and Friends since Frog Fest began.

Many years ago, we made our first trip down to get photos of a Kermit prop replica, and have been back many times since!

Check out the official poster and our schedule poster below, and come down to visit us. 

And don't forget to give your face a taste of delicious vacation and visit Vince's before you leave town!  Our choice of fine dining!

Frog Fest and Final 2014 Kids' Messages

FIRST CONGO KIDS' MESSAGES

The final three 2014 Kids' Messages will be delivered at First Congo on the dates below.  Come see what Muley will discuss in his mulish fashion.

October 5, there will be a blessing of the bikes!  Muley will discuss what bikes have to do with taking care of the body as a temple for our soul, and how bikes bless us back.  I think he's even wearing biking gear--that'll be interesting...

LELAND FROG FESTIVAL

Leland, MS, Frog Fest is going to be held on October 25th celebrating the life of our hero, Jim Henson, who was raised to boyhood there in the Mississippi Delta!  Hopefully, you can come down for the arts and crafts and have great fun.  And, no, frog's legs are NOT on the menu.  In fact, we hope they're outlawed in Kermit the Frog's hometown!
