🏟️Future Grandstand Renderings Table: A look at concepts for the next chapter of Wahconah Park. 

Attendees will also have a limited opportunity to get a last look at the existing grandstand from the top of the ramp and no further due to safety concerns. The program will conclude with a short speaking portion beginning at 2:30 p.m., featuring remarks from Mayor Peter Marchetti, Park Commissioner, Cliff Nilan, and Director of Baseball in the Berkshires Inc., Larry Moore. 

The event is free and open to the public.
