Job Opps! Spring...Retail Therapy Guide 3/27/2021

Spring! Happy Start of Passover! It's looking like the weather is turning in the right direction - the direction of warm breezes and sunshiny days. Seems like it's safe to put away the snow boots and gloves this weekend as you start Spring Cleaning. Your outfits may be confused, as you start to acclimate to the warmer air. Not to worry - you can get a wardrobe refresh out in the many boutiques on Main Street. See A Little Beacon Blog's Shopping Guide for ideas, like Last Outpost for the rugged look and hand-designed silver jewelry, Lucky Thirty One Clothing near BJ's Soul Food for the ultimate sexy casual-wear, and for some heavily designed bling you haven't seen in a long time, Marie Pierre Collection on the far end of Main Street near the mountain. Meanwhile, parents and caregivers are getting on their games for Summer Camps! Yes, it's that time, and more than a few camps have opened registrations already. A Little Beacon Blog has started our Summer Camp Guide, which you can start browsing here! Advertisers are still welcome to participate. HINT: You get to promote your social distance strategy! And show pictures. PS: There are a lot of Job Opportunities this week! See ALBB's Job Listing section at the bottom.
