The Return of the Suffield Community Calendar

By |

With the new year, The Suffield Observer is bringing back the Suffield community calendar. This popular feature was eliminated several years ago because of the challenge of keeping the information up-to-date. The calendar is being reintroduced now as part of a cooperative effort with the Suffield Cultural Council, an informal group of community services and nonprofit organizations serving the Town of Suffield. Email SuffieldCuturalCalendar@gmail.com to submit future events to the community calendar.
