Wow! October was quite a month in the Town of Suffield! The highlight of the month for me, Parks and Recreation, and I am certain for most of the town, it was 350th Anniversary celebration during Columbus Day weekend.
The Suffield FFA will once again be holding its annual FFA Holiday Sale from Tuesday, November 30-Friday, December 3 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day and on Saturday, December 4 from 10 a.m. 1 p.m.
Approximately one in five seniors will suffer from a mental health condition according to the CDC.
Blue lights, silver tablecloths, celebratory balloons, and the fruits of several Big 350th Anniversary projects welcomed Suffield residents on October 10 at Suffield High School.

I call it procrastination month as everything I had planned on doing since the migratory birds arrived in April I have put off to November.
After a half-year delay, Suffield’s newest business opened quietly on October 5 in the lower level of the Webster Bank building, and its impressive facilities have been in place for longer than that.
The Observer advised its readers that the Enfield-Suffield Veterans bridge maintenance and repair project, which has been underway, slowly, for quite a while, and did indeed experience a work stoppage in mid-summer (out of respect for a new falcon brood in the structure) was still on schedule to be completed by the end of November. That still appears to be the situation. Milling and paving the road surface, including the Enfield entrance and exit ramps, has occupied much of the time recently, with frequent shifting of dozens of traffic cones and barrels to maintain traffic flow during the work. This reporter was told by one of the repair crew and by the Enfield policeman on duty, that that day was the last of the work. But during subsequent weeks, the cones were still out there, and it was clear that small tasks were still in progress.
Someone wise once said, do something uncomfortable every day.
