Suffield Holds Concerts On The Green Wednesdays

Family act Lynn Lewis and Friends performs on the Town Green Wednesday, followed by McIntire the Magician on July 25.

On Wednesday nights on Suffield's Town Green, families gather to celebrate summer with music and entertainment.

"The children who were there (last performance) had a great time dancing," said Suffield resident Cheryl Conley. "New friendships were made and my overall feeling was that the night was beautiful."

Conley has become a fan of the town concerts and hopes to see larger attendance as summer goes on.

"It's always nice to do something in your hometown... I often hear residents complain about the lack of activities in town, but the activities we do have are under-attended," she explained.

The summer concerts are held at the Town Green near the gazebo on Wednesday nights. Lynn Lewis and Friends perform tonight from 6:30-7:30 p.m., followed by McIntire the Magician on July 25 from 6:30-7:15 p.m. 

The concerts are sponsored by the Suffield Parks and Recreation Department and the Friends of Suffield.

Concerts are held rain or shine; in the event of rain, these events will be held in First Church of Christ Congregational, Fellowship Hall.

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.
