Christmas in Suffield

By |

Christmas in Suffield is a unique experience. No other community in our area features multiple Christmas fairs on the same day. This year five fairs will be held on November 3, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

This year First Church will be offering a luncheon of soups, sandwiches, and desserts in Fellowship Hall. The Ebenezer Gay room will feature our craft vendors, a bake sale, attic treasures, a country store featuring Vermont cheeses, slab bacon and other delicacies staffed by the Men’s Fellowship, and a Children’s Shopping Boutique, book sale, breakfast bar and snack bar. Outside the Ebenezer Gay room, there will be a raffle of theme baskets all attractively wrapped for holiday giving.

Town Hall Planning Proceeds

By |

The Town’s process toward providing decent quarters for its administrative departments has been long and uncertain. The existing Town Hall opened in 1962 as an improvement on the previous building, which was built during the Civil War. There have been many significant changes and expansions to the 1962 building, including making offices out of the large conference room that originally occupied the west end of the second floor and the installation of an elevator. The Police Department moved out into new quarters on Mountain Road, freeing space for the growing needs of the town. More recently, several functions were removed into rented space in one of the Laureno warehouses on Ffyler Place and in the new office building at 230 Mountain Road, where the First Selectman’s office, the Finance office, all the building departments and Human Resources are now located.
