We are bringing back our Springfield Holiday Calendar, to help keep track of the festive happenings around town! And whether all of the Grinches out there want to admit it or not, that starts in November with the Holiday Bazaar and Christmas Lighting Ceremony! So if your organization, business, church, or group is planning a holiday event (open to the public) please send us the details! We'd love to add it to the calendar and help spread the word!
P.S. - Santa recently called our office to let us know it is time to accept names for his nice list! Names accompanying a $1 donation can be turned into Town Hall.
If you have questions, please call Town Hall at 719-523-4528
We are so thankful to have such dedicated individuals on our Springfield Police Department and Springfield Volunteer Fire Department. We are even more thankful for the firefighters, deputies, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and all those who make up the neighboring agencies who serve on the front lines with our departments.
Thank you for the long hours, the missed holidays, the family dinners interrupted by a call, and the courage it takes to run toward the things most people run away from. Thank you for the sacrifices that happen behind the scenes, the difficult calls you carry home, and the countless ways you show up for your communities.
Here in Springfield, we know that serving a small town takes a big heart. Our first responders are more than the uniforms they wear. They are our neighbors, friends, family members, and the familiar faces who show up when we need them most.
Sometimes, they answer the biggest calls of their lives. Other times, they're helping a neighbor through a difficult moment, teaching a child about fire safety, or lending a hand when someone needs it. Every act of service matters.
Today, and every day, we are grateful for those who choose to serve.
It is important to stay aware of road signs and traffic cones that would indicate a road closure. We have had several people in the last couple of weeks going around these cones as crews are trying to work.
This is dangerous for the crews working, but also dangerous for you. (It isn't always a shallow hole on the other side of those cones!) Even though we think the Springfield Police Department are full of really great officers, we really don't want to schedule your appointment with them because you put our Water Crews at risk!
If you have any questions, please call Town Hall at 719-523-4528.
Heads up, Folks!
The Street Department is preparing to fog for mosquitos tonight, October 20, 2026!!
If the wind continues to play nice, they are planning to be out and about around 8:00 PM.
