Suffield on the Green and Craft Fair is proceeding as planned at this time. The event takes place on the Town Greens in the center of town the weekend after Labor Day.

On a rainy Wednesday evening October 6, Sonny Osowiecki was celebrated for his recovery from emergency heart bypass surgery in April and honored for his recent retirement after 38 years of significant service in the Suffield Volunteer Ambulance Association.
It seems like a slow process, but progress has been made. The shifted roadway (to broaden the curve) has been given its base coat of asphalt, and the old sewer pipe bridge and the pedestrian bridge are both gone.
