    Outdoor Sculpture -- Ohio -- Chagrin Falls
    Sculpture
    Owner: 
    Administered by Village of Chagrin Falls, Parks Commission, 21 West Washington Street, Chagrin Falls, Ohio 44022
    Located Riverside Park, North side of Main Street, between Bell & Orange Streets, Chagrin Falls, Ohio
    Remarks: 
    The sculpture is one of an edition of four. The sculptor gave this frog to the women of the Chagrin Falls Women's Exchange who then gave it to the Village of Chagrin Falls as part off their contribution to the village park beautification project. The name, Gree-Deep, was selected through a contest, but the sculptor named the frog C. F. Frogg and Rivets. The Campen publication refers to the piece as "The Happy Frog." The inscription on a small plaque installed on a concrete marker just in front of the sculpture reads: Gree-Deep/by William McVey/Presented to the/Village of Chagrin Falls/by the Chagrin Valley/Women's Exchange/September 11, 1972.
