Organizers, restaurants back Scituate 'Brook‑to‑Otis' fundraiser; dinner limited to 100
Summary
Organizers told the Select Board businesses were "overwhelmingly positive" about the Brook‑to‑Otis street closure and fundraising plans; a seated dinner is capped at about 100 while the beer‑garden/tasting is targeted for 200–300 visitors.
A presenter updating the Select Board said outreach to more than 20 restaurants and retailers produced strong support for the Brook‑to‑Otis closure and the related Heritage Days fundraiser. "The feedback was overwhelmingly positive," the presenter said, and listed participating establishments including Maria's, Board 143, Mead, Mill Wharf, Salt Society, Salt Marsh Winery, Galley, Malaney's, Nona's and Oro.
The presenter described preliminary capacity targets and logistics: "Obviously, the dinner is a 100 people" and the beer‑garden/tasting was expected to draw "hopefully, I don't know, 2, 300" people. He said parking arrangements include use of a church lot after 5 p.m. and Jenkins lot as a back‑up, and that organizers are coordinating with police, DPW and trash services. The board heard no objections and encouraged continued coordination on trash control and event promotion.
