Spring Hill Hosts First Responders Appreciation Cookout

Organizers in Spring Hill say the event builds on years of grassroots effort to bring neighbors together and support local causes.

"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Robert Moore, neighborhood association president in Spring Hill.

Last year's turnout topped 3963 attendees, and organizers say they are hoping to top that number this time with an expanded lineup of activities for families.

Volunteers and sponsors interested in getting involved are encouraged to reach out to organizers ahead of the date.
