It's October 1st! :: Retail Therapy Guide 10/1/2021

Vibes on the street say that October 1, 2021 was pretty spectacular! There is LOTS going on. All sorts of things. Scroll slowly so you don't miss it. Saturdays for some are traditionally Sports Saturdays. There's a morning rush of some parents headed to different mini-games. Two weeks ago, a tragedy happened at Arlington High School during a Friday Night Lights kind of evening. Parents were talking about it in folding chairs the next day during a Beacon Bears game, and other games throughout our community. A 16 year old, Quraan Smith, was stabbed at a football game at 9pm and was forever lost from his family and this region. Last week, he was remembered during a vigil at Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie for the "beautiful energy" he brought to people. Read more about him and the community response here.                                         While it's not Second Saturday, we are using this logo to represent the Art section and the artist who sponsored it for their exhibit!
