350th Anniversary Merchandise

We are looking forward to celebrating the 350th anniversary of the settlement of the Town of Suffield in October of this year, on the town’s 351st birthday. The 350th committee will be selling merchandise to commemorate the event all summer at the Suffield Farmers Market and at Cupola Hollow Farms.

SHS Students Register to Vote

Registrar of Voters Darlene Burrell and her husband Dick manned a table at Suffield High School in June to provide an opportunity for students who are 18, or will be by the November election, to register to vote. Kurt Lester and Elizabeth Rose were two of the students who took advantage of this opportunity by pre-registering, as they will both be 18 in November.

Correction

While making the rounds to see the barn quilts, Bev Sikes stopped to visit the one she designed and painted for the Historical Society. The Barn Quilt Trail flyer inserted in The Observer last month has the wrong artist’s name on her quilt.
