Eugene, Ore. --Small busineses know it's all about networking to find customers. After last year's economic troubles, 97 Springfield small businesses are focusing on networking now more than ever.
Those businesses set up shop in the Gateway Mall on Saturday,
the 15th year they've gathered to network.
The Springfield Chamber of Commerce Executive Director said they signed up for the event quicker this year, because they need the public's and each other's help.
