This weekend kicks off the official start of the outdoor event season! Memorial Park opens up with the Egg Hunt & Spring Fling, followed by the Beacon Barks Parade and Beacon Open Studios later in April. Exciting times! Plus, we have a new Event Submission Page, and we're working on a new, much-requested Business Directory! If you want to get in on early-bird pricing for listing in the Business Directory, please contact us.
PSA: If you're of the NYC mind and are driving around Beacon this weekend, please skip the habit of doing U-Turns in the middle of the road! It's normal down there in the city, but not the norm here! Within 20 minutes of writing this newsletter, we have seen two random U-turns made in front of our building.

Rhinebeck Bank
Keeping people in their community is important to Rhinebeck Bank. Part of keeping that connection is helping people meet the loan officers who handle a loan. Meet Susan Utter, a lender who recently helped a family purchase their grandmother's home. Here's what she says about the recent home purchase:
"What’s more exciting then a customer purchasing a new home? Answer: buying a home that has been in your family for generations! Celeste and Leslie recently purchased the home of Celeste‘s grandmother. The house was originally built by Celeste’s great-great-grandfather and has been in the family ever since. They were so excited to be able to continue the family tradition and to have a new home of their own to enjoy! Congratulations, ladies – it was a pleasure to help you realize your dream!"
