Suffield’s 350 Anniversary Holiday House Tour: A Stroll thru the Centuries
There will be something for everyone to see and enjoy
on the Suffield Garden Club’s Holiday House Tour, Saturday, December 7 from 3 to 7 pm. Museum houses open at 11.
Highway Garage Plan Nixed
Or should the headline be “Ffyler Place Project Nixed,” because the two projects are inextricably joined. But the November 6 tri-board Special Meeting of the Boards of Selectmen and Finance and the Permanent Building Committee discussed only the purchase of the existing warehouse/office building at 1160 South Street to become the highway garage. That would free the Ffyler Place property for developer Kevin Casey to build apartments there, which have already received several key approvals.

A Christmas Szopka
In November, the Polish Heritage Society (PHS) enjoyed a fascinating presentation about the Christmas tradition of “szopka,” hand-made nativity scenes within a colorful castle. The presenter, Marek Czarnecki, annually guides the children in Hartford-area Catholic schools who build these structures using everyday household items such as paper towel rolls, boxes, foil, plastic bottles, and wrapping paper.
