Calling All Volunteers – 350th Anniversary Needs You!

The town of Suffield will celebrate its 350th Anniversary on Monday, October 12, 2020, and people have lots of ideas for making it an amazing anniversary year! The challenge is that at this point they are ideas, and not actual plans. Creative and enthusiastic volunteers are needed to make them a reality. We need people to work on the “Big Weekend” events; the barn dance, the parade, the sporting events, the carnival, the fireworks, the gala, the town picnic, the musical and dance performances, the concert, and the commemoration exercises. In addition to the weekend of October 9-12, 2020, there are a dozens of great projects we want to complete and interesting programs we want to offer throughout 2020.

Firemen’s 5K Race Report

Great weather and the tradition of the event brought out an impressive bunch of athletes and exercisers to what is now the Suffield Firemen’s Association Paul Simison Memorial Run, honoring the memorable and admirable man who started this race, now in its twentieth year.
