SBA Celebrates Excellence at the 2nd Annual Springfield Community Awards Celebration

The 2nd Annual Springfield Business Association Community Awards Celebration, held February 18, 2026, was truly a night to remember. We celebrated our 2025 nominees and winners.  We had such outstanding  nominees   - they really were all winners to us! Our small-town spirit shined so brightly throughout the evening.
