    Hundreds of community members and friends from near and far filled the American Legion Saturday night for the Build Springs “Boots and Bling” Gala, raising a whopping $13,000 for City of Wessington Springs Park Improvements.

    “On behalf of Build Springs, we’d like to thank everyone for supporting the Gala and fundraising for the park. We hope everyone had a great time,” said Roger Hainy, Build Springs President. “If anyone couldn’t make it and still wants to make a donation to the park, you can contact any Build Springs Committee Member.”
