Ida In Beacon :: Retail Therapy Guide 9-3-2021

September is known to be one of the most beautiful months in the year - the crispest blue sunny skies surrounding the back-to-school season. September is the time to begin again. After 2001, that changed when optimism was ripped into by the planes hitting the towers, exposing our vulnerability. Crisp blue skies in September are the result of humidity clearing after a hurricane passes through. The most devastating days the morning after a hurricane are often the most beautiful. Beaconites in Beacon, as well as those commuting in, and those who went away for college, or careers were impacted differently as ALBB began to document here. If you have a story you wish to share, please submit it to editorial@alittlebeaconblog.com so that we can help document what happened. Weekend train service along the Hudson line has been suspended, and the MTA says they hope to have limited service running next week. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a State of Emergency for 14 counties in Downstate New York, and Dutchess County is one of them. County Executive Marcus Molinaro encouraged residents and businesses to document damage in preparation for applying for FEMA money. COVID-19 numbers in Dutchess County are holding steady with an increase (hovering at 795 Active Cases), with 32 of those Active Cases in Beacon, leaving the week with a rise in hospitalizations (42 people in the hospital), and prayers for two more deaths since we last wrote (467 people who have died). Former Albany councilperson Ronald Bailey has passed from complications due to COVID-19. In times of uncertainty, comfort can be found in preparations. Like cleaning the gutters, trimming trees, reviewing home insurance policies, investing in that sub-pump, and tightening your estate planning. A Little Beacon Blog's Business Directory can be a place to start to find a resource to partner with. Meanwhile, keep your spirits up with knowledge, plenty of good food, veggies, and seeing friends. Move your body (see ALBB's Adult & Kids Classes below) and more ideas on how to do that are below!   THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Edited and Written By Teslie Andrade and Katie Hellmuth Martin You can sponsor this Event Guide with your event, for extra promotion of it!
