I always feel like fall has officially begun when Springfield hosts their annual festival the first weekend in October.  The Crossroads Harvest Festival, Oct. 2 – 4 will include many activities and will involve many community members including 4-H.  The 4-H Young Riders will be holding their annual horse rides at the corner of Depot and Armory Hill and the 4-H Sharpshooters will be selling cotton candy, soft drinks and tickets for their annual giveaway on Cross Main close to the intersection of Depot Street.

Until county revenues pick up and an end to the economic slump is in the foreseeable future, the Washington County Fiscal Court is doing everything they can to account for every penny in the coffer.

Numbers were released on the progress of students across the district through the No Child Left Behind program, which was passed into federal law in 2002, as well as results from an interim performance test.

After spotting the Golden Bears a 2-0 lead the Patriot women fought back to make the score 3-2 at halftime. Amy Wurfel scored one goal for the Patriots, while the second came when the ball was deflected off a Tech defender into the goal off a corner kick by Monica Milesky.
