Southwest Indiana is home to
many festivals, including a rod run for street rod owners, called Frog
Follies. Since 1975 the E’ville Iron Street Rod Club has put on a
rod run for street rod owners in August. It is held at the Vanderburgh
County 4-H Center in Evansville Indiana. At the first event there were 44
street rods registered. Since that time the Frog Follies has grown to
an average of over 4000 street rods each year. The event became known
as the Frog Follies after the club had a bull frog race at the first
event. Frog Follies has had entries from Alaska, Australia, Canada, and all
48 continental states over the years.
