Hoping and Hopping

What does a froggy want for Christmas?  Well, this amphibian wants more books, a nice fly souffle and, of course, more people to comment on his blog.  I have been traveling a lot lately.  I attended the Rayne Frog Festival which was a hopping good time, and I am planning a trip to Natchitoches for the Lights Festival.  Are there any events in your area that I should attend?
