Frolic Volunteer
Plans are underway for the 29th Annual Frog Frolic Family Festival

For more than two decades, the Frog Frolic Family Festival has been the event of spring in Redding—bringing neighbors together while raising essential funds for our Library. It is a day of simple joys, where music fills the air, laughter carries, and time is shared with friends. Join us as a valued volunteer, take part in our inaugural Cornhole Tournament, or lend your support as a sponsor. Don’t miss it!
