Springfield Wednesday Newsletter- July 22nd
Welcome Back!
Hey Springfield, We made it through another week without melting!
If it seemed hotter than usual, you weren't imagining it. The weather experts have been talking about a "heat dome," and it certainly made itself at home this week. The good news is that relief is on the way. After another hot Monday with temperatures in the upper 90s, cooler weather is expected Tuesday through Thursday, with highs dropping into the 80s and a chance for showers later in the week.
Summer is still in full swing, and there's no better time to get outside and enjoy everything our community has to offer. Local schools are getting ready for another exciting year by welcoming new teachers, fall sports teams are beginning practices, and there's plenty happening around Springfield.
One event you won't want to miss is the Springfield Farmers Market this Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with its "Scoops & Sunshine" theme.
Bring the whole family and enjoy fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, flowers, and all your favorite local vendors. The Boy Scouts will be hosting water games to help everyone cool off, and don't miss the Ice Cream Eating Contest featuring delicious treats from the Springfield Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain.
Whether you're shopping for fresh vegetables, finding a unique gift, or just catching up with friends and neighbors, the Springfield Farmers Market is a great way to spend a summer Sunday.
The Boy Scouts will be hosting water games to help everyone cool off, and the Springfield Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain will provide the ice cream for the Ice Cream Eating Contest.
It's a great opportunity to spend to get out and enjoy summer with friends, support local businesses, and enjoy everything that makes Springfield such a wonderful community.
Springfield Farmers Market this Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Springfield History
Dressing up Main Street with flowers began in May 1988 when local merchants and area residents generously donated funding and supplies for six new barrel planters on both sides of Main Street. The idea for the flower barrels began during a Springfield Commercial Club meeting. Donations from area businesses totaled nearly $200 to support the project. Roger Dinslage, owner of Springfield Country Market, provided petunias, marigolds, and geraniums at cost. Hazel Latham offered dirt to fill the barrels. Timmerman Feedyard supplied the barrels. Other contributors to the project included Springfield Drug, Stark Auto, Springfield Monitor, Dr. B.C. Burns, Kreifels Hatchery, Latham Elevator, B & B Garage, Dew Drop Inn, Springfield State Bank, Latham Lumber, Zimmerman Feed Yards, Latham Enterprises, Corky’s Antiques, Buskirks’s Barber Shop, Diane’s Headquarters, Dr. Mike Leibentritt, Bundy’s Place, Banditos, and Mr. & Mrs. Dewey Callaway.

Fit Tip of the Week-Don't Forget to Hydrate!
When the temperatures rise, most people think about drinking more water—but hydration is about more than just quenching your thirst. Even mild dehydration can leave you feeling tired, slow your workouts, and make it harder to concentrate.
A few easy ways to stay hydrated:
- Start your morning with a glass of water.
- Carry a reusable water bottle wherever you go.
- Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries, and tomatoes.
- If you're exercising or working outside, drink water before, during, and after your activity.
