In my ongoing quest to find out more about cool stuff around Sioux Falls let's find out about this cool Frog Sculpture at the Outdoor Campus.

5-Things You Probably Didn't Know about The Outdoor Campus Frog

  1. He has a name. The artist called the piece “I’ve Been Kissed,” but The Outdoor Campus staff calls him Prince Frederick Michael VonPurdy.
  2. His feet are turning into hands! The artist, Pokey Park, of Arizona, imagined what would happen if a frog started turning into a prince. It would start with the hands, of course.
  3. Even though most princesses probably kissed frogs, Prince Frederick Michael VonPurdy is more likely a toad, due to the bumpy skin on his back.
  4. The statue sits at the head of a 6,000 square foot butterfly garden at The Outdoor Campus.
  5. Rumor has it that young women who kiss the statue will soon find their true love.

Now we know!  Thanks to Thea Miller Ryan for the fun info!
