Because Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield does not sell bottled water at the Visitor Center, the management team there wants to practice sustainable principles for visitors by offering a sustainable choice.
The battlefield recently purchased a water filter that greatly reduces lead, aesthetic choline taste, odor, and particulate class sizes (0.5 to 1 micron). The battlefield invites visitors to fill their reusable water bottles at one of the filtered water drinking fountains. In using this filter, we can reduce the number of water bottles that are thrown into our landfills each year.

When searching for a good place to have business meetings combined with lunch, remember The Tower Club.
I had a meeting with ten people last week and was able to use the Sunset Room at the Tower Club on the 21st Floor. The view from high above in Springfield’s tallest building is always lovely as it changes with each season. The Tower Club view is especially important when showcasing Springfield to event planners as it provides an inexpensive aerial view of downtown, the Expo Center, Hammons Field, MSU, Drury, OTC and more.

By Amy Michels, CVB Marketing CoordinatorJade East on North Glenstone Avenue has been in Springfield since 1983. They have drive-through as well as dine-in. They have a nice lunch buffet with many choices, including cashew chicken, crab rangoon, eggrolls, orange chicken, egg drop soup, sesame chicken and kung pao beef.
I decided to try this restaurant for lunch and was not disappointed. For less than $9, you get the entire buffet with a drink of choice. Quite reasonable for all-you-can-eat.
I chose spicy soup, white rice, barbeque chicken, kung pao chicken, lo mein, crab rangoon and, of course, cashew chicken. Everything was fresh, hot and had great flavor.
In the mood for reasonably-priced Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet? Jade East is the way to go!

By Judith BridgesSalad bars, build-your-own sundae bars and other buffets are as common as air these days. But my fave is the Bloody Mary bar at Coyote’s Adobe Café & Bar.
Every Saturday and Sunday from 9am ‘til 2pm, you can get brunch with a pint-sized Bloody Mary for an extraordinary price.

Everyone has that one specific dish they crave from somewhere in town and it becomes a “must have” at least once a week. At Hibachi Steak and Sushi, I have found mine, the Hibachi Spicy Chicken.
