Springfield Wednesday Newsletter Feburary 25th
Welcome Back, Springfield!
Hey Springfield, I started the count down to June Lucky duck race — this week, let’s count down to something even closer…
Only 23 days until Spring!
March 20th marks the first official day of Spring, and Springfield will be celebrating with a Spring Fling downtown.
Make plans to visit the local shops — or at the very least, help spread the word that spring is coming and Springfield businesses are ready!
I stopped into Decor & More on Main Street, and it is popping with cute everything. Owner Tracy Chalfant told me she loves how welcoming Springfield is and feels lucky to be part of this community.
What caught my eye?
- Adorable St. Patty’s shirts
- Seasonal decorations
- Their own fragrance and flame line candles
- MOP SOAP
- Car fresheners
- Carpet fresheners
If you’re ready to bring spring indoors, this is your stop for fresh, one-of-a-kind scents.
Fregrance and Flame was proudly named Best of Omaha 2025 — and when you shop main street, you’re 100% supporting our local community.
Go smell something amazing.
Spring is coming.

ReMain - Raw Honey.
Raw, unfiltered honey isn’t just sweet — it actually has real benefits. It can help soothe a sore throat, calm a cough, and even give a steadier boost of energy than regular sugar. Many people also use a small daily spoonful of local raw honey during allergy season.
Just make sure it’s truly raw and unfiltered (usually cloudy and may crystallize). And remember — never give honey to infants under 1 year old.

Springfield History
On March 17, 1992, the Springfield City Council recognized four individuals for their contributions to the globe lights recently installed at the corner of 1st and Main Street, adjacent to the Community Building. The city council expressed gratitude to Sandie Sayers (Shotski) and her husband Stoney, owners of Springfield Café, as well as Don and Nancy Smith, owners of Forever Yours Floral. Don Smith handled the essential wiring for the project, while the donors also provided time, supplies, and materials.

Insurance Tip – Review Your Coverage Annually
– Life changes, new vehicles, or home upgrades can impact your insurance needs. Take a few minutes each year to check your policies, adjust coverage limits, and make sure you’re not paying for protection you no longer need—or missing coverage you do need. Staying proactive can save money and prevent surprises if a claim happens.

Fit Tip:
Ever skip a workout and tell yourself you just “weren’t motivated”? It’s usually not laziness.
Your brain has two systems at work. The planning side knows the workout is good for you. But the emotional side sees effort, soreness, and discomfort… and tries to steer you toward the couch instead. Your brain isn’t trying to ruin your progress — it’s trying to avoid stress.
That’s why waiting for motivation doesn’t work.
Action has to come first. Here’s a simple trick:
Don’t commit to the whole workout. Commit to 5 minutes.
Just warm up. Start moving. Most of the time, once you begin, your brain settles down and you keep going. Starting removes the “threat.”
Fitness isn’t about loving every workout.
It’s about showing up anyway. Consistency wins!

Did you know?
The church fish fry is actually a relatively recent tradition. While Catholics have abstained from meat on Fridays for centuries, parish fish fries in the United States became popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s as Irish, German, and Polish immigrants built strong parish communities. Churches began serving simple fish meals during Lent so families could keep the fast and still gather together. By the 1940s and 1950s, the Friday fish fry had grown into both a fundraiser and a social event — and even after fasting rules changed, the tradition remained because it had become about fellowship as much as food. Break bread with the community.
