In April of 2019 we moved south to Suffield from West Springfield. We were also drawn by the physical beauty of rural Suffield with amazing historic homes and beautiful scenic roads and farmland.

Thanks for the Smiles

As always, we enjoyed reading the latest Suffield Observer from cover to cover. There was one disappointment, however.
Editorial
Good Listeners May Change Their Thinking
|
It’s been brought to my attention that some residents complain that The Suffield Observer is too liberal, that the paper doesn’t publish viewpoints other than those with a liberal slant. The editorial cartoons are too liberal and there is no voice for other viewpoints.
Organizations
Observer Scholarships Available
|
The Suffield Observer will sponsor two scholarships to Suffield residents who will be entering an accredited two-or four-year college in September. The scholarships honor Samuel S. Fuller, founder of the paper, and Robert O. Y. Warren, a former Chairman of the Board.
Editorial
Observer Skew-less
|
As I’m sure many of our readers have noticed, Rick Stromoski’s cartoon has been missing from the paper for the past couple of months. Rick has decided to end his time with the Observer, and the town will be the poorer for it.

A Year in the Pandemic – March 2020 to March 2021
|
When everything shut down in March 2020 due to concerns about COVID-19 and its effects, many scheduled events were cancelled. Sporting events, concerts, church services, holiday gatherings and the like were put on hold.
Library
Suffield Library During COVID-19 and Afterward
|
Occasionally an uninformed voice is heard to express the opinion that libraries are antiquated–out of date–superfluous in the age of technology. How wrong that voice is, and never more in error than now.
