Celebrate With Us As We Commemorate Our 125th Anniversary |
A Special Message To Our Community The city of Springfield is moving toward its most celebratory occasion yet – our 125th anniversary in 2010! We already have many plans to help ensure our commemoration of this important milestone is as wonderful and unique as this great city we all call home. Our city’s incredible spirit was born from Springfield’s roots in our businesses, community groups and residents. It is only fitting that the entire community joins in this celebration of our proud history and bright future. We hope you will join the city of Springfield in commemorating its anniversary by incorporating our special 125th anniversary logo into your organization’s communications and any special events for the duration of 2010. We also encourage you to consider additional programs using this anniversary as your theme or inspiration. We believe it presents a cohesive and positive message to the rest of our community, visitors and businesses. Additionally, sponsorship opportunities will be available, in conjunction with many of our 2010 events. Please enjoy this video of Springfield's early history, and this video of the Mayors introduction to Springfield's 2010 State of the City speech. Don't forget to check out our Celebration Magazine. |
