Submitted to Sumner Newscow — When baseball arrives at Hibbs-Hooten Field in Wellington, spring has arrived. And this year it comes with a new scoreboard at the historic park.

The field dates back to the 1920s when it was originally constructed as a wooden stadium, then updated as a concrete structure 40 years later. Centrally located in Wellington, the historical ball diamond remains a key part of the community’s activities and culture. So when baseball returns to Hibbs-Hooten each year, it’s time for a little spring upkeep and maintenance.

“In Conjunction with improvements provided by The City of Wellington, it was time for a new scoreboard, and we seized the opportunity to step up to the plate.” “Says Alan Campbell, Executive Vice President of Impact Bank in Wellington.

When it’s baseball season, all eyes are on the game.

“Hibbs-Hooten field is a unique asset to Wellington,” Campbell said. “At Impact Bank, we’re here to support our community values which mean investing in things we all share — even a scoreboard.”

According to Campbell, donating a new scoreboard for Hibbs-Hooten Field is one of many ways Impact Bank positively affects Wellington. “Our name says it all. We’re here to make a difference in this community and the surrounding area. It’s important we stay involved with this town, and that means investing in projects that strengthen the quality of life.”

 While Impact Bank donated the scoreboard, Campbell says putting a winning score up in lights for the home team is up to the players on the field. “But, we look forward to seeing everyone at the games, supporting our youth, families and community.”

Impact Bank is the largest locally owned community bank in Sumner County, with locations in Wellington and Caldwell and providing a full array of financial services.
