Custom-built Benches, Tables Donated to Irish Cultural Center of Western New England

SPRINGFIELD — 94.7 WMAS and Audacy Springfield announced the donation of five picnic tables and four garden benches to the Irish Cultural Center of Western New England. This contribution aims to enhance the community experience at the center’s expansive athletic fields, providing comfortable seating for patrons, athletes, and families.

The furniture carries a unique story of local craftsmanship and education. The pieces were hand-built during the Original Western Mass Home and Garden Show held at the Eastern States Exposition in March. The construction was a collaborative effort between students from Westover Job Corps and the Home Builders Institute, showcasing the skills of future tradespeople to thousands of event attendees.

The Irish Cultural Center, located in West Springfield, serves as a hub for cultural preservation, sports, and community gatherings. The addition of these five picnic tables and four garden benches will provide much-needed infrastructure for the athletic fields, which host a variety of matches and community events throughout the year.
