Out with the old and in with the new. 🔨

The Mercer County Athletic Boosters have been busy working on a brand new concession stand at the football field, and we’re excited to finally see it all coming together. We are proud to keep investing back into Mercer County athletics and can’t wait to continue watching things grow at our school.

A huge thank you to the Mercer County Auto Restoration Club for building the new concession stand and helping bring this project to life.

Thank you to everyone who supports the Boosters and helps make projects like this possible for our kids and community. 💙💛
Check back for more updates throughout the summer.
