Holiday Tree Gala

This year the Town of Suffield will usher in the holiday season with a new program for the whole family—Holiday Tree Gala.

Bee Keeping with Andrew Preissner

The Suffield Garden Club will hold its monthly meeting, in the evening, on Monday, October 1 at 5:45 p.m. at the Second Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall, 100 North Main Street.

Halloween Fun at the Trolley Museum

The Connecticut Trolley Museum will once again be hosting its popular Halloween events, Pumpkin Patch & Rails to the Darkside. These two fundraising events are extremely important to funding the museum’s many family programs.

This event is held with the help of the Shaker Pines Fire Dept.

Land Conservancy Update

The Land Conservancy’s South Grand Street property has gone through some recent reclamation work this past spring and summer. The 60-acre property was given to the Land Conservancy by the Tennessee Gas Pipeline as part of their wetland mitigation program last fall.

Arts Festival Off to a Good Start

The wide-ranging presentations at the Suffield Arts Festival offered the town an opportunity to enjoy a free sample of local music, dance, drama, mime, comedy, painting, crafts and more. The Suffield Youth Theater (SYT), always adventurous, tackled this as their summer event on Saturday, July 14.

Fall Nectar Flowers

Monarch butterflies are unable to survive cold winters so they migrate, mainly in October, to the south and west. Monarchs need an abundance of nectar from fall flowers to support them on their journey from the eastern and central U. S. to the mountains in Mexico.
