Welcome to Main Street, Courtney Sedor of Raven Rose! Courtney bought and transformed the former La Bella Rosa floral and gift boutique located across from the Howland Cultural Center. At Raven Rose, you'll find fresh flowers and a highly curated collection of home decor gifts, including several succulents! Pictured here is the thistle, a flower that Courtney loves to use in bouquets for the texture and depth it gives.
Welcome to Main Street, Liz Ferrera, a designer in the former co-op space inside of Clay, Wood and Cotton. Liz is now the sole proprietor of the entire store that only carries product from makers in the Hudson Valley. reMADE replaced Clay, Wood and Cotton and features rare finds such as handcrafted items from local artists, like this stunning porcelain bowl made by Beacon artist Andrew Rouse. Rouse used the ancient "pinch-pot" technique to give these bowls a unique hammered look.
The first snow of the season has come and gone, but we have months of potential winter fun ahead of us!

When you stop by the open house from The Beacon Veterinary Associates this Saturday, you’ll see why their motto is: “21st-century medicine and surgery, paired with 20th-century care and compassion.” Says Dr. Nick: “We feel we are small enough to offer that hometown community feel, yet still provide advanced medicine and surgery. If we can’t offer you a service in-house, then we will make sure to find the right specialist to come to our hospital or we'll facilitate a referral to the best specialty centers in the area.”
