To the editor: Springfield Chamber thanks all who helped Brighten Downtown

Each year, the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce orchestrates the illumination of downtown Springfield, going beyond the lamp posts on Main Street.

The lamp posts, Santa’s house, and the community holiday tree are all infused with a festive glow that fosters a sense of warmth and unity throughout the winter months. This cherished tradition not only transforms the townscape into a welcoming spectacle but also provides a delightful experience for both residents and visitors.

Due to weather and the elements, many of the lights we used in the past were worn out or broken, so we asked the community for help with replacing them. The outpouring of enthusiasm and financial support has been overwhelming. We are so grateful and moved by everyone’s generosity.

The downtown avenue is looking festive and bright, and the Chamber wants to express the utmost  appreciation to the following organizations and individuals who helped Brighten Downtown for the holiday season:
