Tailgating Springfield Style

 

August 22 a tailgating event was held at Springfield Junior Senior High School with cheerleaders, football players, band members  to kick off the home football season. There were free hot dogs, cotton candy, face painting, and a variety of games. Here are some more pictures as well as some on Facebook.

Concert series, Car Show and Food Trucks

The music played while car seekers, foodies walked the grounds. Some just kicked back and enjoyed the sounds of the Lee Brothers Band.

It was a time visitors could enjoy a variety of food and snacks.

Car enthrusisits show their gleaming antique vehicles and hot rods and those who enjoy looking.

The tunes and notes fleeted through the air entertaining the music seekers on land and parked in the lake on their boats. Some, young and older danced.

It was a fun time and money was raised for Springfield's K9 police unit which offer demonstrations at the event. The K9 unit is paid for through the donations of community members and businesses. It is an important part of the police force.

                                                    

                                                    

Santa's light up the lake front!

Catching up on Santas visit to the children of Springfield Township this year. It was a special visit as the Jolly Man brought Mrs.Claus. It was difficult for her to leave her responsibilities at the North Pole but she asked for backup from the head elf. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived by fire truck with Springfield Township's Fire Department bringing them in safely.

It was a fun time for all families. Some sat on Santa's lap, some sat on Mrs. Claus' knee. Some just stood back and took in the excitement of the other children. 

The tree and light display along the lake was lit by the red suited man and then the
crowd went inside Town Hall, sat Santa and Mrs. Claus as many lined up to speak with them. Hot cocoa and cookies were served and an ensemble from Springfield Band played wonderful renditions of Christmas songs.
