Happy Birthday Cornucopia Main Street!!! Thanks for being such a great part of our community!

It's our birthday! 31 years have passed since Cornucopia first opened as a bottle market. Who'd a thought we'd evolve into a restaurant, and one day end up with 3 locations? Life is strange, but we're grateful to be where we are, slinging burgers and pouring drinks for our neighbors 🐸🍔

Lucky #13: A Celebration of Community Fortune
As we gear up for the 13th annual Books & Brew Fundraiser, we're reflecting on what it truly means to be lucky, living in the spirit of Springfield. As it turns out, it may not be luck at all; it may be you—our vibrant and beautiful community, coming together to support two cornerstones of our community.

In Springfield, we are fortunate to live in a place where the love for literature, history, and togetherness thrives. Our Springfield Library and Springfield History Museum stand as testament to the richness of our community, offering boundless resources and endless inspiration.

As we embark on this countdown to our Lucky #13 event, let's celebrate the incredible tapestry of our town—the diverse stories, the shared history, and the unwavering support that makes our community one of a kind.

Join us in the countdown to Books & Brew, where we'll raise a glass to the magic that happens when a community comes together. It's not just luck; it's the spirit of Springfield, and it's something worth celebrating.

Thinking ahead about the Oldest and Coldest parade around? Oregon Riders Society 501c3 is at it again with this year’s Springfield Christmas Parade and thanks to Springfield Police Department - Oregon for sharing-details below! Just over a week away!

The 71st Annual Springfield Christmas Parade hosted by Oregon Riders Society 501c3 is just around the corner!

The parade kicks off Saturday, December 2nd at 1pm, but multiple roads will be shut down prior to that for participant and attendee safety and traffic control. In an effort to prepare the community for the impending road closures associated with the parade, we're going to be sharing reminders in the days leading up to the day of the event.

The staging area on Olympic St., from 28th St. to 21st St. will be completely closed off, including exits from Walmart and 23rd St., starting at 7 am for floats to be setup and decorated. No vehicle traffic or drop-offs except vehicles that are registered to drive in the parade will be allowed in this area. Walmart & Wilco parking lots are the correct locations to drop off anyone participating in the parade.

Once the parade starts, streets ahead following the route will be strategically shut down and completely unavailable for normal traffic until the last vehicles are through. The parade will start at 21st & Olympic and end on Pioneer Parkway East.

Please plan accordingly to avoid any unnecessary trips through this area at the time, We can't wait to see you there!
