The following table has been adapted from data provided by the Suffield Police Department.
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!!!

|
I think it is safe to say that Field of Flags has been a great success. 315 of the 350 flags were sponsored and tagged, honoring both individuals and groups.

Halloween Spooktacular Was Totally That!
|
It seemed impossible that such a grand exhibition as Suffield’s Halloween Spooktacular could be produced in less than a month of planning. But there it was, and well over 1,000 cars loaded with awestruck kids came to enjoy the free event.
