March 20, the first day of spring, is a date I look forward to every year with much anticipation. That day brings with it renewed energy and hope for nicer weather around town. Usually, it has been about four months since many of us were able to enjoy warmer weather, work in the yard or just get out for a walk. Every day I see more and more people out walking by my office on Mountain Road, playing in the parks and enjoying spring sport; people seem to have just a bit more cheer! Be sure to get out and enjoy all that Suffield has to offer.
May 4 is quickly approaching. It will be 13 years since CPL Stephen R. Bixler gave his life for our country. Even after 13 years, it is still so very hard to realize Steve will not be coming home. The community of Suffield is coming together once again to honor and remember Stephen, at his Annual Memorial Picnic.
