SCITUATE – The concession stand at Manning Field is now ready for a new season thanks to the generosity of two Scituate business owners, according to Scituate Boosters member Danielle Fians.
Fians said the 10-year-old Booster “shack,” which has sat unused since 2019, was in a state of disrepair and hadn’t been deep cleaned in at least five years. Inside, she said, soda cans had exploded, food had expired and mice got into the items, leaving it in a poor state.
