It’s Really a Bazaar
|
The final winter market brought many vendors and visitors to the high school’s Agriscience Center on February 9, and as usual the affair was more of a bazaar than a farm market. Only two farms were selling vegetables: Suffield’s Simpaug and Enfield’s Easy Pickin’s.

Ways to Replace Road Salt
|
We use a lot of salt, along with sand, for de-icing our roads when the weather gets slippery, and this widespread use of salt has some serious environmental impacts. That’s why Suffield’s Highway Department is looking into a product called Ice Chip.

Last Chance to Tell Your Story!
|
One of the projects for Suffield’s 350th anniversary celebration is to republish Robert Alcorn’s The Biography of a Town – Suffield, Conecticut 1670-1970, published in 1970 along with a Volume 2, which would be a compilation of Suffield stories from the last 50 years that brings us from the late 1960s, where Alcorn’s book left off, through the past 50 years to 2020. Our tentative idea is to call it 50 Stories for 50 Years.

Do You Have a Suffield Story to Tell?

Many non-profit groups and individuals have been contacted over the past two months in order to get their Suffield histories included in a book which will be one of the projects for Suffield’s 350th anniversary celebration. Suffield native Robert Alcorn wrote The Biography of a Town – Suffield, Connecticut 1670-1970, published in 1970.
