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!!!

Decked out in a birthday sash proclaiming him “Birthday King” and a crown that suited him almost too well, Gene beamed as center members lined up to wish him happy birthday.
