Froggy friends take 1st place at 2023 Firecracker Fest

Matthew Bowley and his amphibian friend hold the first place trophy in the age 10 and under division of the frog jumping contest held Saturday during the annual Firecracker Fest at Mill Creek Park. Bowley said he caught the frog that morning with his father and they hadn't named it yet. "I guess we're going to have to keep the frog now," Bowley said. Bulloch County and area residents enjoyed the 247th Fourth of July birthday celebration for the United States with inflatables, live music, food vendors, kids' activities and the traditional frog jumping contest and ended with a huge fireworks display.
