Plenty of Treats from Trunks in West Suffield

The Mac Farm on North Street provided plenty of pumpkins on Saturday, October 26, when West Side Auto & Tyre hosted a Trunk or Treat event at their service center on Mountain Road in West Suffield Center. SSU Photo from Enfield brought a Haunted Trailer photo booth, Suffield Police Officer Terry Antrum had a decorated cruiser with candy, and even the Suffield Animal Control Officer dropped in. The event was co-hosted by the East Coast Offroad Jeepers of Connecticut, so there were a bunch of decorated Jeeps, as well. Ruth Skodis, wife of West Side proprietor Larry Skodis, said the adults had as much fun as the kids. About 30 vehicles participated, with candy or special activities, and Larry and the ECOJOCs had publicized the 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. event on Suffield Forum and with some flyers, so the mid-day turnout was good.

Goulash Soup

Goulash Soup is an easy soup to make and a wonderful way to warm up on a cold day. This soup makes a delicious dinner for 4-5 people when served with rye bread and butter. Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter

1 chopped onion

1½ Tbsp. paprika

1 tsp.

“I Pledge Allegiance . . .”

The whole Pledge is written carefully on the white stripes of the big flag Celine Zaczynski painted on canvas and hung on the barn behind her house near the end of South Main Street. The flag can be glimpsed by north-bound drivers on South Main, but this photo was taken from Limric Lane.
