Rain Didn’t Dampen Suffield On The Green

This year’s Suffield on the Green had the feel of a typical fall weekend, however there was some rain on both Saturday and Sunday that closed the SOTG early at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, although, the sun did eventually come out on Sunday. The crowds, crafters, musicians, local charities and food booths were resilient!!! The 54th “Suffield on the Green” continued to bring smiles, give fairgoers a chance to meet with family and friends, as well as the opportunity to purchase unique items and enjoy some of the BEST food around!

The “Suffield on the Green,” brought to you by the Suffield Knights of Columbus and the Suffield dough, pulled-pork and of course, the Rotary Chicken BBQ – are YOU looking forward to next year already???Walking the Green, the fairgoers savored the opportunity to visit numerous booths filled with handmade arts and crafts plus local organizations sharing their information, services and food!

Scouting in the Land of Fire and Ice

Troops 260, 262 and Venturing Crew 261 had an epic summer adventure in Iceland, and wow, what a trip it was! After two years of planning and fundraising, 26 Scouts and leaders finally set out on a journey they’ll never forget.The adventure kicked off in Reykjavik, where they wandered through streets lined with museums, art and interesting food. Some of the adults even braved Iceland’s infamous fermented shark (hákarl)— however we’d recommend the hot dog.

Readers Score at Friends Book Sale

The Friends of Kent Memorial Library are pleased to report that we have had another successful book sale this year. All the money made from the sale is used to support Kent Memorial Library programs and purchase materials for the library throughout the year. Photo by Matt Auchy Books stored at Second Baptist Church were loaded for their ride to Father Ted Hall. Many “hands” go into making this sale happen. First, thanks to Second Baptist Church for providing us with space to sort and store the thousands of books that are donated to us during the year.
