Granny’s Spray Ground

This was the dream Ondra Edds had back in 1999 when her Breakfast Rotary Club was looking for a project. The small club chose the ambitious project of building a children’s spray ground at Legion Park. At that time, she had no grandchildren or daughters-in-laws and seemingly no prospect of them, but while this project would not personally benefit any of her existing family, she hoped that one day her grandchildren would enjoy it. Maybe that was the driving force behind many of the club members who worked so hard to meet their fund raising goal. As the 10th anniversary of the spray ground’s opening approaches in August, Ondra can reflect on her family’s progress. Her sons did marry and produced three grandsons, and on Memorial Day she enjoyed watching the twins joyfully playing in her spray ground.
