Ancient Swing Set Gets New Life

Frank and Dorothy Kazda on Huggett swing set in the early 1990's

  As it aged it moved from our back yard to an old water trap slab on our property. There it sat or decades...deteriorating but retaining sentimental value for both of us.  We had rescued it from the COD Ranch around the time of Elna Huggett's passing.

   When the time finally came to move it off property, we wondered who in the world might want it. Our first thought was perhaps the Oracle Historical Society (OHS).  Having become expert in the restoration of significant pieces of historical value we figured our nearly century old swing set might merit their interest.  Sure enough the answer to the "do you want it question?" was "Yes".

  So the four horsemen of the American Flag Gang showed up to take it on.  Equipped with a flat  bed trailer behind a sturdy pickup they hauled it off.  
  As of now - talk about going full circle - it's resting place when the restoration is complete is the American Flag Ranch (lovingly restored by OHS) which in past times was owned by the very same Huggetts who wiled away so many hours over so many years on that very same swing set.
