It was fun collecting recipes from Suffield people for the 350th Cookbook. The impetus of the cookbook was a grant from the Connecticut Department of Agriculture to showcase Suffield’s farms, farmstands and farmer’s market.
About two years ago, the 350th Committee decided to create a companion volume to Robert Alcorn’s The Biography of a Town, written for the Town’s 300th anniversary.

Over 40 years ago, Dave and I settled in Suffield to raise our sons, David J. and Brian. Little did I know, then, just how deep my family roots are here.
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.
I have always liked maps. They are just so interesting to look at and study.
It’s not the big parade we had been looking forward to, but we can still have fun while maintaining a social distance!
