Big Springs Chamber of Commerce

The Big Springs Chamber of Commerce is an active, voluntary organization of our business community. Our Chamber prides itself on recognizing various enterprises, main street businesses and home-based ventures. It also works closely with the local school, by encouraging students to get involved in community projects.

Cooperation among voluntary organizations is what motivates the people of the Big Springs Chamber of Commerce. It is by working together that goals have been met. Recent accomplishments include the successful organization of a local housing authority and development of additional housing in our community. Members have also organized a weekly Business and Industry group to meet and brainstorm for new ideas and set new goals. Projects include creating a plot registry for the local cemetery and renovating the original spring site (for which the town was named) and its historical sign . The Chamber will continue to utilize local input, interests and energy to turn ideas into reality for the citizens of the community.

Big Springs Baseball/Softball Program

The new Big Springs baseball/softball field was completed in 1995 and had its first season of use in 1996. The communities of Big Springs and Brule combined players to form the South Platte Baseball and Softball teams. Many volunteers from both towns work endless hours getting the field in top shape. The field has a sodded grass infield and is watered by an underground drip system. The field is used by four different local teams from May to August. A total of 44 youngsters from ages 7 to 13 utilized the ball diamond in 1996. Local teams host other surrounding teams during the summer months on this field. This facility provides many hours of worthwhile enjoyment for youth, parents and other loyal boosters. It is a great asset to our community.
