It's spring, and so begins the jam-packed weekends of annual events that define a season and Beacon's community. This weekend Beacon celebrates Earth Day, with a nine-location cleanup. Record Store Day is also upon us. Let's see what you decide to take advantage of... even if it's just one event!
PS: For those wandering around looking for something to do on a particular day, A Little Beacon Blog has a Guide for that! It's called the Repeating Events Guide (though we're looking for another name so send your ideas), and has events listed like the Bridge Club that meets every Monday at the Howland Cultural Center, or the Daytime Book Club that meets every second Tuesday at the Howland Library.
PPS: If you love these Guides and want to be super awesome, consider making your business or group a lead sponsor of them, which helps A Little Beacon Blog make them possible! See our Media Kit for details on how to reach our readership.
