Now that we have dug out of the snow and the weekend looks like it is going to be relatively dry, we're back with more things to do in Beacon tonight and this weekend.
Here is your easy access to planning. These are weekend dates pulled from some of A Little Beacon Blog's 10 Things To Do In Beacon Guides, so be sure to check them during the week.
There is more parking around here than you might think!
Especially the large, free lots on the East End of town, near the mountain. We've got pictures. Sponsored by Antalek & Moore for car insurance.
