Hej Ladies! Episode 02—Ron and Kathy Berggren

Few couples are as connected to Mission Springs as Ron and Kathy Berggren. Both of them grew up spending their summers at Mission Springs—Ron’s family has enjoyed their cabin since 1931 and Kathy spent her summers at the trailer park until her dad built a family home up the hill in 1980. Both their parents and grandparents were a part of Mission Springs for many years. Then, at one fateful 4th of July service at Cathedral Grove in 1990, Ron and Kathy met each other, went on a few dates, and later were married in the Worship Center the following summer. Both their daughters have enjoyed camps, the pool, parades, and friends since they were little and are now starting to bring their own little ones to keep the memories going at our “happiest place on earth.” If you have questions or comments about the episode, please contact us at jenny@nwrtw.com.
