“IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY”
This is an update to last weeks story about the Spearman Bank building. I am happy to report the building was not one of those lost in the fire. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused. This building was an important part of Sarpy County and we are grateful it still exists.
SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY FUNDRAISER
Springfield Cemetery is asking for donations to pave the cemetery streets. Every other year it costs $9000 to resurface the asphalt. Winter is coming soon. Roads will be tricky to navigate. Please help raise $100,000 to install pavement. A Go Fund Me page is set up. Please help: https://www.gofundme.com/springfield-cemetary-association
