We all experience stress from time to time. But when that stress is constant, it may be time to explore new solutions. If you feel like you’re dealing with chronic stress, ask your doctor or a mental health expert for help.

We are excited to be participating in Cruise Night on Main Street next Wednesday! Come stop by our table and say hello!

A special Cruise Night thank you to the following groups for their outstanding support and volunteerism. Their dedication, hard work, and community spirit help make not only this year's Cruise Night on Main Street a tremendous success, but every year's event as well.

A heartfelt thank you to The Garage Guys for their assistance parking vehicles on the South Green!

We would be remiss if we didn't thank the many City of Middletown, Connecticut Government departments whose support before and during the event helps make Cruise Ngiht possible each year including:
• Middletown Police Department -Connecticut
• City of Middletown Professional Firefighters Local 1073
• Middletown CT Public Works
• City of Middletown, Connecticut Health Department
• All other City of Middletown departments and staff who support the event behind the scenes

And of course, we could not bring Cruise Night to downtown Middletown each year without the longstanding support of our presenting sponsor NAPA AUTO PARTS!

Thank you all for helping keep this beloved community tradition rolling year after year! 🚗🎉👏

September 2 4:30-8pm, Main St, Middletown
