It Happen in Springfield
Springfield area businesses, celebrated Small Business Week during the week of May 7-13,
1989. An advertisement was posted in the Springfield Monitor stating these words, “There’s no
business like small business. You’re center stage, in the spotlight, doing a juggling act for sixteen
hours a day. When the curtain goes down, you worry about dropping the ball tomorrow. But the
act is all yours and you want it that way. There are 18 million of you now, providing 2 out of 3
new jobs. That’s a cast of over 50 million workers. Take a bow, small business. Encore!!” This
advertisement shows many of the small businesses in the Springfield area at the time but there
were many more. Many of the small businesses in the Springfield region at the time are depicted
in this advertisement, but there were many more. Small Business Week is coming soon. Let's get ready honor Springfield's hardworking small businesses during the week of May 4-10.

Fit Tip of the Week - Mindful Eating, Campfire Style
Slow down and savor! Practice mindful eating by serving your meals in smaller, camp-style portions. Picture yourself by a scenic park campfire—every bite is intentional, every flavor appreciated. This simple shift helps prevent overeating and deepens your connection with the food you fuel your body with.
