It *Was* Friday! | Retail Therapy Guide 6/3/2022

Hello and Happy Pride! To absorb yourself in messaging and events, follow xstarbOrn right now and check her Stories. During times of celebration and crisis, she's a go-to source for messages you need to hear. Also follow Justice McCray, an Abolitionist who is a Beacon City Councilmember and a moving and grooving member of the LGBTQ community. They consistently share Pride events and opportunities. Around town, find a welcoming vibe and crowd at the Roosevelt Bar in the Hudson Valley Food Hall, Happy Valley right down the street, and Reserva Wine Bar (formerly Chill).

And Happy First Friday! Even though Friday came and went by the time you are opening this! As the days get longer, strolling down Main Street in the dusky evening in the sunlight's shadows grows more appealing by each sunset. Remember every First Friday is a day boutiques may be preparing something special for you. Enjoy!
