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!!!

Parks & Rec Made it Work in 2020
|
As our calendars turn to the final page of 2020, I would like to offer a synopsis of the Parks and Recreation programs and activities during this unique year. We have become familiar with the challenges faced by private and public organizations in performing their traditional functions, and this context is important as one considers the programming offered to our citizens during this period.

We Are In This Together

Isolation, sadness, depression, anxiety, despair, anger, boredom, agoraphobia, paranoia, thoughts of suicide, increased drinking or substance use: do any of these hit home for you or someone close to you? Whether you are five or 95, it is almost impossible to have avoided many of these feelings or behaviors over the past nine months.
