COMMUNITY BLOOD DRIVE

THANK YOU!

 On Sunday Sept. 15th the Springfield Community Blood Drive was held. Although we fell short by 2 units, we still collected 46 units which I feel is very good for the Springfield area. Once again thanks to all the donors, the people who attempted to donate, the Springfield Fire Dept., all of the local merchants who display the Red Cross posters, the Churches who advertise in their weekly bulletins and the Springfield website. Without all of you we could not DO IT! 

Thanks Again, your Springfield Knights of Columbus and the Red Cross

The exhibit will continue through October 27.

        Also on view through October 27 is the exhibit “Remembering Beautiful Merritt Beach”. Included are photographs about the recreation area that was located just south of the Platte River on the east side of Highway 75. Merritt Beach was in operation from the 1930s through 1989.

            Cass County Museum's regular summer hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.   During the Harvest Festival the museum will open at 10:00am on Friday September 6 and Saturday, September 7 and close at 4:00.
