Art In Spirit - Retail Therapy Guide 9/4/2020

Summer days are coming to an end, pools are closing, and new pandemic rules are out for how we are going to do pumpkin patches and haunted houses. Life is going on carefully, cautiously and smartly. Beacon City Schools are going for it by attempting a hybrid learning model (2 days in school, 3 days remote learning) for those who want in-person (read the Reopening Handbook), and the Spirit of Beacon Day is going City-Wide with no parade but lots of art and expression. New Sponsor! Welcome our new sponsor of the Shopping Guide, The Bra Fit Expert! All shops on Main Street are included in A Little Beacon Blog's Shopping Guide, and sponsors get an elevated position in return for their sponsorship, which helps us promote all of Main Street shopping.
