1. Friday Nights are spent watching your varsity football team
Everyone knows sports are taken seriously in Springboro. We especially love our football. Friday nights are the biggest social gathering of the week for the whole town. You better be decked out in royal blue and white on a Friday if you're in Springboro. We are a deeply rooted community who supports our team during good or bad seasons. Go Panthers!
2. The K&W
Its not spring until the K finally opens back up. They have the best ice-cream and the best food. You will always end up running into someone and striking up a friendly convo. Going to the K after school in Jr High was a right of passage for us Springboroans. The K is with out a doubt one of the best little gems Springboro has to offer.
3. Christmas in Historic Springboro
Other than sports this is THE BIGGEST DEAL. Christmas in Springboro is actually held before thanksgiving. You run into everyone you could possibly think of and the whole day is full of good conversation and lots of hugs. Not to mention the amazing food. Bourbon chicken, chicken noodle soup, gyros, and so much more. You know you're going to leave having spent too much money on food but knowing it was all worth it.
4. Roosters
Who doesn't love freaking awesome wings?
5. Bdubs
We honestly just really love our sports bars and chicken.
6. Kleather's Pumpkin Patch
It's not fall until you walk around Kleather's with a hot cup of apple cider picking out pumpkins! So many of us have annual pictures growing up next to the Kleather's giant ruler and the pumpkin carriage!
7. IGA
RIP IGA. It was a sad day to see the IGA go. The IGA opened in Springboro in 1958. A small little grocery store full of lots of love and great food. You never failed to see a smiling face when you stopped in for a visit.
8.Sledding at the Null House
The giant hill by the Null house in Heatherwoode always made for fun filled winter.
9.Springboro Haunted Hayride and Black Bog
Waiting two hours in line a few times in the fall was always worth it to get to go through the terrifying black bog. Its even more fun when you know all of the scarers!
10. Once a Panther always a Panther.
No matter how much you wanted to get out of Springboro and move away this place will always hold a special place in your heart. Nothing will compare to our picturesque main street, our close-knit community, and our love for sports. This little town has a lot of love. I'm currently writing this article snuggled up in an old Springboro football division two playoffs sweatshirt. It's been a while since we've been a D2 school. It's truly amazing how this town has grown from a little farm town into the booming suburb it is today.
No matter where you are or how long ago you lived here, at heart, you're always a panther. Once a panther, always a panther.
