Awards to Springfield Nonprofits Announced

SPRINGFIELD—The Community Foundation of Otsego County, which administers the Advocates for Springfield Fund, recently approved awards to two Springfield charitable organizations that support the health and well-being of the Town of Springfield. The Springfield 4th of July Committee and the Springfield Historical Society will each receive $500.00 toward upcoming events.

The 4th of July Parade and Celebration have been making Springfield the “place to be on the 4th of July” since 1914, celebrating the nation’s birth and ongoing freedom and justice for all, the ideals upon which America was founded. The parade of 70-100 entries lasts more than an hour, then continues with festivities at the Community Center. This includes a concert by the Cooperstown Community Band, Brooks’ BBQ, a quilt show, games and entertainment.
