Springfield Preservation and Revitalization, also known as SPAR, is now the new owner of the Drew Mansion on West 3rd Street.

A Springfield resident worked with the nonprofit Sustainable Springfield to build a disc golf course in Klutho Park, which is maintained now by SPAR and is a daily attraction for residents across the city.

The Springfield neighborhood has hosted a 4th of July throwback baseball game at Klutho Park for the past 17 years.

The neighbors in Historic Springfield are inviting the surrounding community to drop in and check out a select few homes as part of SPAR's Home and Garden Tour.  People can walk, ride bikes or drive to see the diversity of the neighborhood and the design personalities of homeowners.  The invitation includes people hanging around after the tour to experience the variety of businesses, restaurants and more that are building the neighborhood up to thrive even more.  The tour is open from noon to 5 pm Saturday and Sunday.  Find out more information at www.sparcouncil.org . Tickets are available at www.904tix.com .
