The city of Springfield sponsored a Fire Hydrant Party for the kids on Friday, July 27th. Kids gathered on 3rd & Elm St. to cool off on a hot day as fire fighter, Tim Trumble, supervised the party site. What a splendid way to spend a summer afternoon! Thanks to city officials and the fire department for a fun time.
