What day is it?
Have you emerged from your house?
Thank goodness for routines, as we get this weekend edition of A Little Beacon Blog out on Fridays.
The sidewalks in Beacon are packed, as lots of visitors have come to Beacon for their holiday vacation, and are combing the sidewalks. Take a long walk, either in downtown Beacon or along the Hudson River. The second pavilion area at Long Dock Park is pleasant and gets you close to the water. There is plenty of seating on benches and tables, as you can see in this mini-video we made for you.

BOUTIQUES ON THE WEST END
PTACEK Home/LLTO
146 #2 Main Street www.livelighttraveloften.com www.ptacekhome.com
Step inside PTACEK HOME/LLTO and you will see this bench - or table - you decide. The furniture inside of PTACEK Home is made by Tom Ptacek, a master homebuilder and designer who has his own tree milling and molding capabilities, which allows his team of craftspeople to repurpose salvaged materials and storm-downed trees. Says Tom about about this piece: "I view the Gamma Outie Bench as a Brutalist wood sculpture as well as a piece of furniture! Look at it, sit on it, enjoy it!" WHERE IS THIS STORE? You'll find it located down the new path just before the kayak station at Mountain Tops.
