Independent. Curious. Close to home.
A little more
connected.
NOW SGF is a local publication for Springfield, Missouri and the surrounding Ozarks.
What we’re here for
Useful local stories, thoughtful weekend plans and a closer look at the places around us. We’re starting small and building with our readers.
How we work
We link to source material, distinguish confirmed facts from plans, and show when practical information was checked. Our first edition combines original summaries of linked announcements and reporting with curated local guides. A listing is not a guarantee that an event will run or a business will be open when you arrive.
Independence & sponsorship
Paid placements will be clearly labeled. Sponsorship does not buy a favorable story, and editorial recommendations are separate from advertising. The initial field guide listings are not paid placements.
Corrections & contributions
Spot an error or a changed detail? Email [email protected] with the page and source. We review tips and event submissions before publication. Sending a tip does not sign you up for the newsletter.
Photography
The Fellows Lake photograph is by ThinkHat, via Wikimedia Commons, licensed CC BY 4.0. It is cropped and color-treated. Other graphic illustrations are decorative rather than photographs of the listed places.
