In 2019 I was at an informational session put on by the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving for details about the Amiel P. Zak Public Service Fund. The crowd members were asked what their community’s strongest asset was.
For Interested Town Organizations:
Mark your calendars for the 350th Parade workshop:
Date: Thursday, May 13, 2021
Back by popular demand, 2-gallon stoneware crocks! Both Suffield and West Suffield crocks will be on sale at the May Market on Saturday, May 15.
Readers have asked when the present status of the Route 190 bridge to Enfield will end. Even with the somewhat reduced traffic flow during the pandemic, many drivers find the constricted two-lane configuration a bit daunting.
It’s always interesting to view familiar things from a new perspective. The Suffield 350th Anniversary committee is excited to be able to present eight unique aerial images of Suffield and West Suffield on note cards.
The Memorial Day ceremony and parade will be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31 beginning with the parade at 9 a.m. The parade will form at 8:45 a.m. on Ffyler Place and march up Mountain Road to Main Street to the Veterans’ Memorial.
Edmund Morgan, a noted local farmer, was featured in an extensive article in a November 1, 1957 article in Ebony Magazine. In the same year, he was feted by the town for 59 years of service to the community.
Please check the Town of Suffield website for actual time and location (virtual, Zoom, etc.) of the following commission and committee meetings
The answer to the second question re: MacDougall/Walker in April’s Suffield Trivia was confusing to some readers. The trivia answer was correct.
Last year the Town was unable to have its standard in-person public hearing and subsequent town meeting to vote on the budget. This was due to the pandemic and Governor’s executive action requiring a virtual public hearing and Board of Finance (BOF) setting of the budget under authorization of the Board of Selectmen.
