Springfield Missouri Area Events SeasonOne of the things I love about living in the Ozarks is the area's richness of events.  This week alone has been action packed.  While I was busy at the Springfield Junior League's Horse Show Charity with our horses and riders, there was the Boyd Coddington's annual car auction on the same property.  Yesterday, along with the car auction and horse show, PFI Western wear was having a concert in their parking lot featuring Joe Nichols, and there was an indoor, APFL, football game at Jordan Valley Ice Park with the Springfield Wolf Pack.   To add to it, earlier this week I so fortunate to be able to take my girlfriend to see The Taffetas at the Springfield Little Theatre, thanks to my grandfather.  And just last weekend was the National Street Rod Asso... 06/03/2007

 In addition to having a real estate business (www.williamsclassichomes.com), we are in the horse business as well.  We currently board close to 60 horses, mostly Saddlebreds.  There will be close to 10 horses and 6 riders from our farm (Sassafras Equestrian Center, Rogersville, MO) at this year's Charity Horse Show.  I figured this would fall under area events, and it adds to the many reasons why living in the Springfield MO area is so great.  The information below was copied from http://www.jlspringfield.org/jls_horse_show.asp.  Visit www.williamsclassichomes.com or call 417-988-0726 to find out what else makes the Springfield, MO greater area a great place to live.  At www.williamsclassichomes.com along with a home's listing information you will find community information: demographi... 05/24/2007

 Downstown Springfield is once again very alive each evening.  Feeling like time had turned back about 30 years, my husband and I attended a concert with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils at the Gillioz Theatre in Springfield.This talented group of musicians started recording back in 1973.  They play a variety of country/rock music that sets everyone's toes to tapping and hands a clapping.  You can't help but join in with the crowd to keep from missing every beat.  For you that have never heard of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, you have missed a wonderful local band that has more talent than any group around. (My Opinion). One of my favorites: " If You Want To Get To Heaven, You Got To Raise A Little Hell" really brought the house down.       To enhance the evening, we were seated in the ne... 05/12/2007

In July of 2005, my soon to be husband was offered the opportunity to take a job in Springfield, Missouri with Tracker Marine (a sister company to Bass Pro Shop).  We were living in Austin, Texas at the time and really liked it there but decided to take a plunge and see what the great state of Missouri was all about.  We packed our bags and headed North, excited about our new adventure.  My husband was a little apprehensive…he hadn’t lived outside of Texas since infancy and wasn’t sure how he would be received in the rest of the world.  As you know, Texans are a different breed.  As it turns out, we blend in quite well here.  If you are considering calling Springfield, Missouri home, here’s what to expect:Springfield has Jobs for EveryoneIndustry in Springfield is diverse.  Because of ... 02/07/2007

We lost our power last Saturday at 3am after a branch from a tree in our yard fell on a power line.  The ice storm has left our yard looking like a war zone.  We got our power back last Tuesday and are now housing my girlfriend's parents and grandparents, which who are both still without power.  This week has kept me busy with our house guests and restoring our 40 acre horse farm that we live on.  I am anxious to get back to my real estate business on Monday.I am curious to see how the ice storm will affect the Springfield, MO housing market.  I know they were making people get homes re-inspected after the ice storm.  Also, several closing dates have had to be rescheduled due to title companies not having power.And it is snowing right now and we are supposed to get 3"-6"; oh boy! 01/20/2007
