Grant brings splash pad closer to reality

MT. JULIET - Little Ava Shay Bright loved nothing more than to splash. She didn't care if it was a fancy pool, at the shores of a lake or in puddles of rain.

Her mother, Krista, said Ava did a lot of splashing in her two short years of life. The memories of her little girl, who found such fun with water, spurred Krista's mission to make a legacy for her daughter and bring the same enjoyment to people in the community.
