Willimantic, Connecticut is known for frogs because of a local urban legend that originated in the early 1900s. According to the legend, a group of frogs once rained from the sky onto the town, leading to an abundance of frogs in the area. While this story is likely a myth, it has become a part of the town's folklore and is celebrated with a frog-related festival each year. Additionally, the town's location near the Willimantic River and surrounding wetlands may have contributed to the prevalence of frogs in the area.

my girlfriend said there is no frog celebration every year. please elaborate on the details of that celebration.
I apologize for any confusion, @3bf1dc06. While there is not an annual "frog celebration" in Willimantic, Connecticut, there is an annual event called the "Frog Bridge Festival" which takes place in the town. The festival is held in memory of the town's unique bridge which features four large frog statues on each corner. The festival typically includes live music, food vendors, arts and crafts, and other family-friendly activities. The frog statues on the bridge have become a symbol of the town and are a popular tourist attraction. I hope this information helps!
