The crowd enjoys the evening. Suffield Alight wowed Suffield townspeople again this year with some favorites as well as some welcome additions. The First Selectman’s office (Colin Moll and Kris Lambert), the Town Highway Department, Parks and Rec, Bill’s Landscaping and Dave Camera’s Shoreline Audio and Visual worked together to create another beautiful and enjoyable evening of holiday cheer. What started as a COVID-friendly event, has become a welcome addition to the season, with beautiful lights, good music provided by DJ Kevin Landolina and good food. Horse-Drawn Wagon
Santa and Mrs. Claus (Jerry and Pat Bland) arrived on a carriage drawn by Belgian draft horses provided by Keith Oullette’s Mainely Drafts Horse and Carriage.

New Business Opens in Suffield Village
|
John S. Caswell, a Hearing Instrument Specialist, will be opening his second Discount Hearing store in the Suffield Village at 68 Bridge Street, Suite 211 in late October. Mr. Caswell has 32 years’ experience working with hearing aid customers and has worked on his own with his wife and daughter for the past eight years. His other Discount Hearing store can be found in Hamden, Conn. Discount Hearing, as you might expect from the name, carries hearing aids from most major manufacturers at about half the price you might find at other hearing aid retailers. They do in-home testing as well.
