Per Peter LeClerc, Director of Community Services – “Suffield Alight! has become a family tradition over the past few years, and we are excited to add in the new Holiday Market.
We’ve been very fortunate to have great community partners and a lot of hard-working people behind the scenes putting this together.
We’ve reached the point where others are starting to get inspired and add events around Suffield Alight! There will be a free community concert at First Church featuring the Cetto Chamber Singers at 4:15 p.m. Any donations at the concert will go to support the Suffield Senior Center kitchen fund, and canned goods will go to Suffield Community Aid.
With all of the family activities and the addition of quality vendors for a market, it is sure to be a great event again.”
