It's December's Second Saturday - maybe one of our most favorite Second Saturdays of the whole year! Businesses and galleries will be open later and the streets will be busy with holiday shoppers, art lovers, theater lovers checking out "A Chorus Line" by The Beacon Players, and tree-lighting spectators. See A Little Beacon Blog's Second Saturday Art Guide here.
Maybe consider taking a FREE yoga class at Firefly Yoga in Fishkill Saturday morning to get grounded first. |

Submit a photo of the outside of your house to editorial@alittlebeaconblog.com for consideration. Perfection and grandness not required. Just fun.
Let's get to the Things To Do!
