Need a few hours to get away from the hordes of brown marmorated stink bugs invading your house?
Well, there’s plenty of places to hide out this week and this weekend in the lower Naugatuck Valley.
The information comes from the Valley Indy calendar (where you can promote your events 24 hours a day, seven days a week), emails and Facebook posts from Valley Indy readers.
Oh, and the UConn bug guys are looking for people willing to help them catch stink bugs.
Remember — we can’t list your event unless you tell us about it!
And this line of text is here because we’re trying to get the Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 subhead below the photo.
Journalism school really isn’t paying off.
Enjoy!
