Hello, fellow froggers! We are excited to announce details for the 22nd Annual American Frog Day, to be held this year in Fremont, CA on April 29-30! All of the information below can also be found at our website (www.americanfrogday.com).
April 29, 2016: We are excited to be hosting some great speakers for our lecture evening on April 29, from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.. Confirmed speakers include Ivan Lozano (Tesoros de Colombia Sustainable Farm), Ron Skylstad (Treewalkers International), Andreas Zarling (Keynote address: “Discovering the Poison Frogs of Colombia, including Pictures from the Field”), and Justin Yeager (noted frog researcher, topic TBD). We also have other tentative speakers we are working with, time and travel allowing.
April 30, 2016: The 22nd Annual American Frog Day Show Event! The show and sale will take place at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, located at 38451 Fremont Blvd in Fremont, California 94536. Come see many vendors of frogs and other amphibians and small tropical vivarium animals, vivarium/terrarium supply vendors, vendors of tropical and vivarium plants, displays of beautiful vivariums, and informational/educational displays. We also have an instant-win raffle in which all attendees can partake, as well as our annual fundraising auction. This year’s auction will feature some very special frogs donated by Tesoros de Colombia Sustainable Farm (more info to come on that in a separate post!) as well as items donated by other supply vendors and frog hobbyists (if you would like to donate items for this auction, please PM me to discuss!). Funds raised will be donated to our select charities, which this year include Treewalkers International (funding/supporting research into amphibians and habitat conservation) and the Tesoros de Colombia Sustainable Farm biocommerce project.
