What a whirlwind of a summer! We had a fantastic response to our April Poetry Contest and held a reception in July to celebrate with the winners and their friends and family.

As part of the year-long 350th Anniversary Celebration, the Kent Memorial Library is sponsoring an essay contest in four different age categories for Suffield residents, non-resident students in the Suffield public schools, or students at the Suffield Academy.
The Suffield Lions Club is offering free vision screening at Kent Memorial Library for any child age six months and older.
The Suffield Garden Club will hold a monthly meeting on Monday, October 7 at 11:45 a.m. at the Second Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall.
Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee is hard at work raising money to pay for our town’s birthday celebration in 2020. We have been selling tee shirts and ball caps, and we’re hosting a golf outing and a beer tasting, but our biggest fundraiser by far is the truck raffle that will be held at Suffield on the Green at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We need your help to make it a success! Truck raffle tickets are $20 each and no more than 4,000 tickets will be sold. Those are pretty good odds!
Although September brings cooler temperatures and shorter days, the Hatheway garden remains equally vibrant and lovely as the summer wanes. Please join us for two unique events in the garden!
Suffield on the Green is seen as the unofficial end of the summer event. It provides Suffield residents with a fun time to get to know their community. For those of you new to town, it’s a great way to meet new people and learn more about Suffield while having a fun time. Saturday
September 7
10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Sunday
September 8
11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The event always takes place on the Town Greens in the center of town the weekend after Labor Day. This year it is Saturday, September 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hosted by the Friends of Suffield, the annual event features booths by local businesses and organizations like Scouts, religious groups, emergency services and more.
Please join Julie Harrison (‘The Garden Fairy’) and the staff of the Phelps-Hatheway House & Garden for the finale of our unique garden-to-arrangement experience, the From our Gardens series.
