It's been years since I've played basketball but I can't wait to take the court tomorrow night out in my hometown to help out a great cause. It's called the Roundball Rumble for Roswell.
Last week, there was a post on the Springville Auction facebook page that mentioned the Gentner Commission Auction closing its doors indefinitely. That looks as though that may have been turned around however.
Sad news comes from Springville today as the announcement was made that Gentner Commission Auction will be closing it's doors indefinitely. The announcement was made earlier today on the Gentner Auction facebook page.
Yesterday we told you that the old 219 bridge that for many years was the main connection for travelers heading to Ellicottville from Springville was going to be imploded. This morning it happened. Watch footage of the implosion here.
When I was growing up, there was a big debate in Springville on whether or not the state should continue the 219 expansion project beyond the Village of Springville. A few years ago, the project began and the highway was extended a few miles up the road over the Cattaraugus Creek Gorge. Now, there is an old bridge that used to connect Springville to Cattaraugus that needs to be replaced.

Ian Baker has set a record at Springville High School. The full back rushed for 6 touchdowns last Friday night during a locally televised game against Southwestern.
High school football - It's what we used to LIVE for when I lived in Springville. It was with good reason. It was exciting to get out on that field on a friday night under the lights. People would talk about the chances of a championship at the barber shop and at the grocery store. This is my hometown.
I was born and raised in Springville. I lived there for about 25 years and never knew the significance behind the term "Fiddler's Green." It's in the name of one of the town's nursing homes, a park and now a bluegrass festival that is coming back this Saturday.
My buddy's brother and sister-in-law own a dairy farm down in Springville, which is not easy work by any means. But I was like a kid in a candy shop when I got to go around the farm (until I nearly volunteered myself to work).
