Southwind Park will sponsor a free shrimp boil from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
today at the park site, Second Street and Southwind Road. (Map)

Construction is under way on many of the park's features, and those
attending the shrimp boil can view the status of the work..

Seafood for the shrimp boil is being donated by Robert's Seafood, and
Skeff Distributors has donated beverages.

The event is open to the public.

Although it is free, donations to the park would be welcome.

In case of rain, the event will be held inside the park's maintenance
supply building.

Post to the Springfield email list: New Golden Corral Restaurant

Quote from the SJ-R.com...

Work is progressing on the GOLDEN CORRAL restaurant near the new Wal-Mart on South Sixth Street. An opening date hasn’t been announced, but it’s likely to be in November.

“It’s coming along nicely,” said Chris Hruby, who will be general manager of the steakhouse. “The building is up, and work is continuing both outside and inside.” General contractor is Joyner Construction.

Golden Corral family-style restaurants offer a buffet with hot meats, pasta, pizza, fresh vegetables, salad bar and a selection of carved meats at dinner and on Sundays. In the bakery, yeast rolls, cookies and brownies are baked fresh every 15 minutes.
