Local food and beverage companies volunteered to benefit Waterbury’s Mattatuck Museum during the seventh annual Febtoberfest event at the Waterbury Elks Lodge on February 6. Guests enjoyed a variety of beer, wine and spirits donated by Connecticut-based suppliers and distributors sampled alongside food provided by local vendors, including Doughlicious, Foxon Park, Jesse Camille’s Restaurant and Nardelli’s. Sponsored in part by the Waterbury Arts & Tourism Commission, with event partner Nutmeg Fine Wines & Spirits, proceeds from Febtoberfest benefited Waterbury’s Mattatuck Museum, an art museum with a focus on the history of the Naugatuck Valley and Connecticut-based artists.
