Happening This Weekend - 2/16/2018

Happy long weekend! Some of you regular readers are away from Beacon, and some of you are away from your home to visit Beacon! Welcome :) Maybe you came here because you read about Beacon in Vogue, who recently featured The Inn and Spa at Beacon during a Hudson Valley highlight article, or on Expedia, who named Beacon as one of their Most Artistic Towns. Also it turns out, people on layovers from Stewart Airport are coming over for lunch or dinner, according to the owner of Liberty Bistro in Newburgh, in the Rhinebeck Bank video below.

Highlighted below are the events, classes, workshops and shopping deals that you need to factor into your weekend plans, as well as your week next week!
Sponsored by Antalek & Moore for car insurance.

Tin Shingle - Open House
FREE MEETING FOR BUSINESSES, ARTISTS, NONPROFIT GROUPS
(this month only!)

Do you hate marketing?
Does social media overwhelm you?
Do you see other businesses or projects in the newspaper, and think: "Dang - I wish that were my business/project featured there!"
Then this meeting is for you. Tin Shingle is an empowerment center for businesses, artists, makers and nonprofits who are trying to get the word out about their work. Tin Shingle is run by Katie, who also runs A Little Beacon Blog. It's a nationwide, member-based resource center that has just opened up the ability to have in-person member meetings in the Hudson Valley at 291 Main Street in Beacon's Telephone Building. We're calling it The Kick A** Member Meeting, because it's there to help you kick butt in your business. Normally it's a meeting for Tin Shingle's Community Level Members only, but this month, it's open to all.
