SPRINGFIELD – What started out as an idea to offer free back-to-school haircuts morphed into a community party along Clear Lake Avenue in Springfield recently that included games, school supplies and free backpacks for about 300 kids. One of the organizers was police officer Lamar Moore, 26, who collected donations from other officers and emergency dispatchers. Moore, along with the two barbers who had the original free haircut idea – Dwy Rice, 37, and Seth Gregory, 33 – said the event was such a success that they want to organize future events so they can give back to the community.
