Although some production problems have slowed our date of delivery, the book, Suffield Stories From Another Half-Century – 1970-2020, one part of the town’s 350th anniversary celebration is still available to pre-order on the 350th website.
The Parks and Recreation Department has continued to offer a variety of new, engaging and fun programs during the fall for families to enjoy after a very busy and enriching summer.
As you travel around town you have probably seen signs on many of the old homes in town.
1. What was the trouble that the mother of Joseph Seger, one of Suffield’s original proprietors, had in Hartford in the 1660s?
The 350th Anniversary fireworks display was held on Saturday evening, October 10, during the country’s pandemic environment, so the 350th Committee chose to launch from a location that would allow a large region of good viewing without gathering a crowd.
The eight Suffield houses which were chosen by the 350th Anniversary Committee House Decoration judges are shown here. There is a nice variety and the houses were decorated very creatively.
Want to “Stay Connected” while staying home and staying safe? The CT Department of Aging and Disability Services has a new grant program called “Stay Connected” that will provide technology such as laptops and tablets to older adults and individuals with disabilities who are increasingly socially isolated because of COVID-19.
Suffield’s town green waves proudly with 350 commemorative flags honoring the memory and dedication of those who have served and are serving our country and community.
We’re expecting an amazing firework show on Saturday night! To maintain social distancing, fireworks display company Pyrotechnico, recommended that the show be designed entirely around six-inch shells that are designed to explode 600 feet in the air.
It’s not the big parade we had been looking forward to, but we can still have fun while maintaining a social distance!
