COVID-19 has created challenges for every resident of Suffield, causing us to adapt to a new normal. Similarly, the Board of Finance has had to make changes to our budget approval process.
The first Saturday in May wasn’t so great, but Sunday was just delightful, and many folks took to the town’s trails and fields and water.
Reverend Daniel Kennedy, pastor of the 1st Congregational Church in 1911, did something unusual to help his sick 2-year-old daughter. What was it?
This rather stiff old couple has been sitting in their buggy next to Mountain Road for several years, but recently they’ve been dressed up for a COVID-19 health worker appreciation parade.
In another big parade, Suffield first responders assembled an impressive array of ambulances, fire engines, police cars and highway department trucks and drove slowly past Suffield by the River, then up the private connecting road and back past the full length of the Suffield House nursing home in a loud and bright demonstration of appreciation for the hazardous duties of the health care workers.
The annual Memorial Day Ceremony will be held virtually this year due to COVID-19. A video of the ceremony will be posted at 9 a.m. on Monday, May 25th in order to honor and remember our fallen servicemen and women as best we can during these difficult times.
We hope this letter finds you and your families well and enjoying beautiful spring days. Today, May 20th, marks the beginning of the State of Connecticut officially reopening!
To date, the Health Department confirmed 92 COVID-19 cases and 17 related deaths in Suffield.
Near the end of March, new Suffield resident Brady Bill said he had a nibble but hadn’t pulled a catch yet from Stony Brook at this spot just upstream of the Remington Street bridge.
