Summer 5K Series Back in 2021

The Suffield Parks and Rec. department is excited to announce that the Summer 5K Series at Bruce Park will be back in 2021. This year will feature a new and improved 5-kilometer course, and races will be every Monday at 6 p.m. from June 28 through July 26.

Sunrise Park and Babbs Beach now both require park stickers for all Suffield residents in order to access the areas at no charge. Stickers can be obtained at the Town Clerk’s office at 83 Mountain Road during regular business hours.

This editorial is a direct result of me having said YES when I was asked to be editor of the month. This was one of the first YESs I had given in over a year. COVID cleared my evenings, my weekends and lessened many commitments.
