The Field of Flags, inaugurated as a Suffield 350th Anniversary event last year, was so well received that the Town Administration planned it to be an annual event. The flags themselves were carefully stored, and the field was re-installed on the center green shortly before Veterans Day.
This year’s announcement of the opportunity to sponsor a flag was delayed, as a hoped-for volunteer group hadn’t stepped up to manage the event, but the number of sponsored and tagged flags reached almost two-thirds of last year’s 315, nevertheless, and the massed flags flew proudly and impressively as ever, with many admirers.
