This is it! 3... 2... 1... Shop! The best part is, you live local, and you live among some pretty amazing shops with some pretty amazing clothes, earrings, paintings, sweaters, gloves, toys, hair color, nail polish, air plants, kitchen gadgets that solve your life's problems, tattoos, and more. Yeah - Beacon! One mile of retail solutions that you can feel good about because the shops are owned by your friends and neighbors. PS: Speaking of air plants, there is a new furniture design store in town where you can find such holders, tables, shelves and more...
Even if those friends/business owners live in Poughkeepsie or Hopewell Junction and commute to Beacon each week to serve you up with a delightful shopping experience, you are helping them. And helping yourself because you bought something awesome.
Embrace the season, but safely: Turn on that Christmas carol station. Let it snow. Drive safe. Pump the brakes. Don't pass on the left if a car has stopped in front of you to turn left (biggest pet peeve about Beacon drivers especially in the snow).
Let's help ourselves out and hit up this Black Friday and beyond! Some deals await you in this issue of The Things To Do In Beacon Guides:
