Coming Soon! Patch's PEEPS Contest!

Sure, those Easter treats are fun to eat, but they are even more fun to use in arts and crafts! Make an amazing diorama out of PEEPS Easter candies and enter to win a PEEPS prize pack!

Easter is right around the corner and that means it is nearly time for Patch to launch its PEEPS contest!

Look for the contest article to appear on your Patch on Wednesday, March 20. That's when you will be able to upload your photo of a diorama made out of PEEPS candies and be entered to win a PEEPS prize pack!

And since we're Patch, we'd love to see re-creations of local landmarks, events, history, or local celebrities!

Photo entries will be accepted through March 27, and then readers can vote for their favorite in the comments from March 28 through March 31, Easter Sunday.

In the meantime, you've got to stock up on those supplies, and the makers of PEEPS are offering a 20 percent discount for online shoppers through March 31.

The problem is resurfacing all the roads in Suffield would cost a great deal of money. Suffield is aRead More big town. I do understand that some roads in Suffield do not have enough adjacent suitable land to create a separate bike lane, but I believe bike lanes could be constructed along sections of some scenic roads. Half a loaf is better than none at all. Salvatore, if you have not already been there, you may want to consider cycling on the island of Nantucket. I have not been there in years, but outside of its main town, Nantucket did offer good riding conditions and peaceful surroundings--at least when I visited.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I was simply suggesting that roads are resurfaced. There isn'tRead More probably enough room for bike lanes on most of these backroads, but if at least the pavement was brought to an acceptable condition, that would make biking much more pleasant (I should say "possible") and, let's not forget, much safer. Some particularly damaged areas represent a serious danger to bikers' safety.

There may be a solution--a compromise of sorts. Put a narrow, but well-maintained bike lane on largeRead More sections of each scenic road in town, the roads with fewer cars and trucks. Just having the bike lanes may be draw for out-of-town cyclists to visit Suffield and spend money at local businesses. Instead of attempting to change Suffield into a metropolitan area, with all the problems that brings, celebrate (and financially support) its original identity--a scenic, peaceful agricultural town with some nice amenities.
