Fit Tip of the Week – Walk this way.
Walking is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can do for your health. Just 8,000 steps a day can make a big difference! So lace up those sneakers and get moving — Springfield has some beautiful spots to explore.
Local Spotlight: The Pollinator Garden
Take a leisurely stroll along the Springfield Trail and discover one of the city's hidden gems — the vibrant Pollinator Garden! It's buzzing with life: butterflies, bees, dragonflies, and a rainbow of blooming flowers.
A new flagstone walking path makes it easy to explore, with flower barrels and resting stones along the way. Perfect for a peaceful moment to pause and enjoy the view.
You’ll find it just east of Park Drive, tucked behind Dollar General.
Get your steps in, breathe the fresh air, and come see what’s blooming!
--------------
Insurance Tip of the Week – Review your coverage once a year — not just when something goes wrong.
Life changes fast: new car, new job, home improvements, marriage, or even getting a pet. If your policy isn’t updated, you could be underinsured when it matters most.

COME ON OVER!
This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.
Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
