Hip Hop, Beauty, Parking | Retail Therapy Guide 4/29/2022

Welcome back to the weekend Beacon! Despite the bright orange signs, you are free to park on Main Street this weekend in between the milling phase, and the paving phase. Though watch out for the road, as it is all scratched up and has exposed personhole covers from the milling. Bad for tires. But DO go into shops! They need you, as shopping has been low during this week, say some shop owners, as drivers avoided Main Street. All in all, the enormous project has been going well. Though Beacon's historic Dummy Light was hit and knocked to the ground by a City vehicle. Many Beaconites were not happy about it. The light is in the process of being restored by the City, but people kept their feelings about it. Read all about it here. For those sports fans of little kid teams, now is your chance to really jump in by volunteering to help out as a coach on the Beacon Junior Baseball team. This co-ed league saw a surge in signups from t-ball to regular ball, and is looking for extra help for their 11 and 12 age-group teams. You don't need to know how to play baseball to participate! That's the fun of it. Sometimes just you being there in the field helps the practice move along. You will be supported by Beacon Junior Baseball leaders who will guide you in what to do. Email beaconjrbaseball@yahoo.com. And registration is still open!            THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Book an Event Promotion Advertising spot here.
