Fire Cured Festival - Springfield, TN
***Event Update***
See you in 2025!
Unfortunately we have encountered some unforeseen hurdles related to hosting the inaugural Fire Cured Festival. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the event to a date in 2025. It is of utmost importance to us for everyone involved – sponsors, vendors, entertainers, volunteers, staff, event goers – to have the best possible experience in Springfield at the Fire Cured Festival and we feel confident that taking the extra time to work through these unforeseen hurdles will ensure a positive experience in our community. Please stay tuned for additional details in the coming months. We appreciate your support and understanding as we make this difficult decision.

2024 Solar Eclipse Viewing Party - April 8, 12:00 - 2:30pm in Springfield, TN
NEXT MONDAY, April 8, 2024, we're hosting a free Solar Eclipse Viewing Party with our friends from Gateway STEM Center! Round up your friends and family to witness this breathtaking celestial event together.
📍 Stewart Williams Furniture, 801 Memorial Boulevard, Springfield, TN
Important info to ensure we all keep our vision afterwards:
☀️Springfield will experience a 95.9% magnitude solar eclipse meaning there will be zero opportunities to view the solar eclipse WITHOUT certified-safe solar eclipse viewing glasses or an offset viewer. Don't burn your eyes, y'all!
☀️We will have stations setup to build viewers and eventgoers will have access to a limited quantity of commemorative solar eclipse viewing glasses.
📷Photographers: the sun can damage your camera and your eyes can be damaged looking through your camera if you’re not properly prepared. Here’s some information, including a video on tips to capture the moment from NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/science-research/five-tips-from-nasa-for-photographing-a-total-solar-eclipse/

Owner of Crossroads Bookstore, Mrs. Nancy Speck, hand stamping a book.
Did you know that Crossroads Bookstore offers same-day leather stamping for purchased books? This is a great way to personalize a thoughtful gift. 🎁
Another fun, ‘did you know’: Crossroads Bookstore is the chosen partner for the State of Tennessee’s biennial Blue Book stamping. On years these books are produced, store owner Mrs. Nancy Speck hand stamps a book for each state senator!!
What’s a “Blue Book”?
The Tennessee Blue Book is filled with useful information about our state, both past and present, including the makeup of Tennessee state government, state history, national and state constitutions, most recent election results and census data. In 2024, new books will be produced and distributed.
