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!!!

Brisk Sales at the Suffield Farmers Market
|
Suffield’s Farmers Market has been doing a thriving business this summer, in part because other markets have chosen not to open and also because people are looking for delicious and local fresh summer produce, which can be found in great variety at the Market.

Tool Time
|
A gardener knows, without a doubt, that there are many different contortions one may experience while gardening. While many physical movements are good for muscles, etc., no one wants to hurt their bones and joints or whatever.

Glenn Packard Tournament
|
Because Jay Muska and Greg Packard were not able to be at the tournament in person this year, Mike Grip made copies of Jay and Greg’s high school pictures, turned them into cardboard cutouts, dressed them in tournament shirts and posed them for this picture.
History
Suffield Suffered in the 1918 Pandemic
|
What was called “The Spanish Flu” touched Connecticut in the spring of 1918, subsided, then returned with a vengeance in the fall. Unlike COVID-19, that pandemic hit children and able-bodied adults hard, as well as old folks and those already susceptible, eventually killing over 8,500 Connecticans.

Even though Connecticut is in Phase 2 of our reopening, with Phase 3 currently on hold, older adults and individuals with chronic health conditions are being asked to stay home and stay safe.
