The crowd enjoys the evening. Suffield Alight wowed Suffield townspeople again this year with some favorites as well as some welcome additions. The First Selectman’s office (Colin Moll and Kris Lambert), the Town Highway Department, Parks and Rec, Bill’s Landscaping and Dave Camera’s Shoreline Audio and Visual worked together to create another beautiful and enjoyable evening of holiday cheer. What started as a COVID-friendly event, has become a welcome addition to the season, with beautiful lights, good music provided by DJ Kevin Landolina and good food. Horse-Drawn Wagon
Santa and Mrs. Claus (Jerry and Pat Bland) arrived on a carriage drawn by Belgian draft horses provided by Keith Oullette’s Mainely Drafts Horse and Carriage.
