Parade Of Ponds

The 11th Annual Parade Of Ponds Was A Success!
 
Despite rising gas prices & the weather of late (hot, chilly, sunny skies, rain & a wild mix of all of them) water garden enthusiasts came out to see beautiful ponds throughout the area while helping charity at the same time!  And over $1800 was raised - All of which is going to Akron Children's Hospital's Burn Center!
