The town of Suffield will celebrate its 350th Anniversary on Monday, October 12, 2020, and people have lots of ideas for making it an amazing anniversary year! The challenge is that at this point they are ideas, and not actual plans.
Democrat and Republican Primaries will be held on Tuesday, August 14, at the Suffield Middle School Gymnasium, 350 Mountain Road. The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The timing of the event did seem odd, but it makes sense when the whole story is told. On May 30, a few weeks ago, First Selectman Melissa Mack cut a ribbon strung across one aisle of the big array of solar cells erected in Kevin Sullivan’s back field on North Street in late 2016.
The Caregiver Support Program
Caregivers play an important role in the health and well-being of our Veterans. There is a very helpful resource for caregivers called The Caregiver Support Program at https://www.caregiver.va.gov/.
The Town website had announced that a group of officials would hike the Windsor Locks Canal trail on June 2 in recognition of Trails Day, the spring celebration sponsored by the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association. But things got complicated.
The Suffield Fireman’s Association will hold it’s Family Day in conjunction with the Police Department’s National Night Out on Saturday, August 4th at Spaulding school from 4 to 9:30 p.m.
More than two and a half years ago on October 8, 2015, the Town voted at referendum to “appropriate $5,130,000 for renovations and improvements to Suffield Town Hall and authorize the issue of bonds, notes or temporary notes in an amount not to exceed $4,385,000 to finance said appropriation.” Since that time, movement towards a renovated Town Hall has taken several turns. The most recent is the Permanent Building Commssion’s (PBC) proposal to raze Town Hall and replace it with a new, more efficient building.
Babb’s Beach & Park will be opening this month for the second season. This gem of a park is located on Congamond Lake in West Suffield.
Connecticut State Law requires that all dogs six months of age or older be licensed in the town of residency. Proof of current rabies vaccination and spaying or neutering, if applicable, must be provided at the time of the application.
It is time to register for Summer Camps and Activities! We are looking forward to another great summer with a variety of offerings for Suffield youth.
