Here is our suggestion for proceeding to leave your house this weekend: Just do it. Don't look at your weather app. Just go. Many stores in Beacon have stayed open while it is snowing, so go out and enjoy the weather, and reward those shops! Many seasonal activities are happening this weekend, from maple syrup fests to egg hunts that you don't want to miss...
PS: Beacon Businesses who are along the path of people walking down Main Street for the sweet festival in May: Vendor booths have filled up. So start preparing for this year's event! Beacon storefronts within the Cupcake Festival boundaries are encouraged to put out tables on the sidewalk. Remember last year?
