Community celebration for the newly restored College Avenue Campus Frog
It’s toad-ally back! After a year of meticulous restoration work, the College Avenue Campus Frog is ready once again to be enjoyed at its home on the main lawn at the University of Regina’s College Avenue Campus.
The Frog was created as part of a class project, led by renowned artist Joe Fafard, in 1971. The amphibian was an homage to the influential Funk artist David Gilhooly. Over the years, the Frog has been subject to theft, mischief and damage, and even survived a kidnap attempt by University of Saskatchewan Engineering students.
