Artillery in the Civil War will be the theme of living history programs hosted at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield on Saturday July 6, 2013. According to Supt.Ted Hillmer, “If you are new to the Springfield area, a long-time resident, or haven’t visited the battlefield in a while, this event will be worth attending for everyone. Come experience your local National battlefield and learn about the history of the Battle of Wilson’s Creek.”
Firing demonstrations are scheduled hourly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at tour stop 5. During the demonstrations, visitors will be able to learn about the role of artillery at the battle, see cannon drill and experience a Civil War cannon being fired.

Fought on August 10, 1861, the battle was fought over control of Missouri during the first year of the Civil War. The battlefield is located 10 miles southwest of Springfield, Missouri at the intersection of State Highway ZZ and Farm Road 182. For additional information, call 417-732-2662.

Baseball, Freebies and Fun Await at Hammons Field
Are you ready for some baseball? How about some freebies and lots of affordable family fun?
You'll get all that and more at a Springfield Cardinals AA baseball game at Hammons Field in Springfield.
Each year, the stadium runs a series of promotions offering special activities and giveaways*.
Here's what's planned in July:
Lemon Berry Marscarpone Cake a Hidden Delight at Tea Room
Light and airy cake with marscarpone between the layers. Lemony yet sweet. Filled with berries and served with a dollop of whipped cream. Pretty to look at and downright delicious! That's the Lemon Berry Marscarpone Cake at Relics Antique Mall & Tea Room in Springfield.
You'll get a generous portion of this delightful dessert when you order it, but there's a catch. It's not on the menu even though it's almost always available. You'll have to ask for it.
The Lemon Berry Marscarpone Cake is the first in a series of off-the-menu items we'll be bringing you in the coming weeks and months. That's right, we're letting you in on secret menu items offered by some of the city's restaurants. You'll be delighted and surprised by what you can get when you know to ask for it.
Delight and surprise were certainly the experience with the Lemon Berry Marscarpone Cake that followed a lunch consisting of a chicken salad sandwich on a fresh croissant, salad with dill dressing and a glass of apricot tea. It was satisfying and tasty but not overfilling, even with a huge slice of cake to top it off.
