Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee is hard at work raising money to pay for our town’s birthday celebration in 2020. We have been selling tee shirts and ball caps, and we’re hosting a golf outing and a beer tasting, but our biggest fundraiser by far is the truck raffle that will be held at Suffield on the Green at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We need your help to make it a success! Truck raffle tickets are $20 each and no more than 4,000 tickets will be sold. Those are pretty good odds!
As part of the year-long 350th Anniversary Celebration which kicks off this October, the Kent Memorial Library is sponsoring an essay contest. The theme of the essay is Suffield: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Essays must be under 500 words long. Participants have free rein on how to utilize the theme in their essay. The form of the essay can be a memoir, an historical piece, or science fiction if the period chosen is Suffield in the future.

They say “Third Time’s the Charm,” well Friday, October 11, will actually be the fourth time that the Suffield 350th Anniversary Committee has scheduled our golf fundraiser. Rainy weather and soggy course conditions have been our nemesis, but October can also be great time of year to play golf! Our golf event, to be held at the Suffield Country Club, is a major fundraiser for the 350th Committee. Proceeds will be used to pay for events, projects and programs celebrating our town’s big anniversary in 2020. Registration and lunch for the 18-hole scramble format golf tournament will begin at noon.
