A grandson's eagle project

My son Marsh's son, Chris, has worked on his eagle project for months, drawing up the plan and getting it OKed by the city of Genola, and then having the ground leveled, prepared, the framework done, and then gravel put in for a very large 3way Basketball court at the city park.  Saturday, June 2n, was the day for the pouring and at least 9 -10 cement truck loads were used to complete the court with 8 inches of the mud!  Here you see Chris using a hook to pull up the wire mesh so that it can lodge in the middle of the cement to give the slab structure.   One can see how big it is as well as the people and equipment in the background.  LOTS of professionals and Ward men and young men volunteers.   I believe it will be dedicated near the 4th of July.    WAY TO GO, CHRIS!  He is 15 1/2 yrs old.

  1. YAY Chris! They just completed the backboards! I will send you pictures of that, too. I'm so glad you were there to witness this, Jane!
