Big Blue Bug turns red today

PROVIDENCE - In fine Rhode Island holiday tradition, the 13th annual lighting of the Big Blue Bug will be at 4:30 this afternoon.

The giant bug, which overlooks Route 95, has been covered with 5,000 lights and adorned with a red nose and antlers.

Gabrielle M. Abbate, executive director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving of RI, will have the honor of lighting the bug, also known as Nibbles Woodaway.
