Naugatuck River Revival Group holds fundraiser
The second annual canoe and kayak race was held on May 9th, down the Naugatuck River. The race is a fundraiser for the Naugatuck River Revival Group.
Chester Cornacchia, Naugatuck's economic development commission chair, finished the race in first place. Tom Hill III, broker for the Naugatuck Industrial Park, which has an Enterprise Corridor, finished second.
