Work continues on Angora Frog Farm
I’ll be in Powell today, meeting with volunteers at the site of the Angora Frog Farm. Remaining work includes finding funding for five more play structures and locating each structure along the trail.
Arvin and Sabra Brown donated the 12-acres of land that the park will be located on to Legacy Parks in 2020. The Brown family folk tales about hairy frogs that only reside in this one special place in Powell, inspired us to create the whimsical Angora Frog Farm story. If you want to sponsor a play structure or help in any way, please call our office at 865-525-2585.
