Also, he said that Ryan Slivinski was the subcontractor for O & G. The siblings had a magnificent success on this bridge.

Leo Jensen of Ivoryton, CT was the sculptor who designed the frogs and supervised the bronze castings. A bronze plaque on the bridge gives these names.

You must look at the frogs from all sides and ponder, but it's there, on every frog. You can't un-see it. Kudo's to the artist if he (or she) did this on purpose and got it by everyone. Very nice.

Some guy came to my high school (EO Smith) and told us the story of 'The Great Frog Battle". I also remember there being a creepy little town East of there that looked abandoned, so you may be able to check out two cool places in one trip!
