 Throughout the first several years of the mall's existence, the common mall space was used to host many annual events.This included the Outdoor Living Show, which allowed mall patrons to view campers, boats, patio furniture, and outdoor grills for purchase in the summertime; Safety Town, a five-day program hosted by Springdale's police and fire department to educate young children on traffic safety; and symphony concerts every August.All of these were included in the mall's tenth-anniversary festivities in 1970, along with a number of mall-wide sales and a teen fashion show held by Shillito's.
