Retail Therapy Guide 10/30/2020

Happy Halloween! The year's first snow fell in Beacon today, which according to the radio, is a result of Tropical Storm Zeta. A reader in our Instagram triggered a memory for the major winter storm in Beacon's history - October 29-30, 2011 - as it brought down so many power lines because of the heaviness of the snow on trees that most likely still had leaves on them. The following October 2012 was Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy. Scary October! There's an easy way to trick for treats this year if you have little kids - hide the candy in your house to avoid taking from other people, and then wander around outside in costume to visit with friends. Beacon has about 18 active COVID cases right now, which includes the Beacon High School reporting 1 case, and then 1 more, and Rombout Middle School reported 1 case. Protocols and disinfecting days are being conducted. Wishing everyone health and safety. Have fun this weekend and be safe!

HOMESPUN 232 Main Street, Beacon, NY and the Cafe at the Dia : Beacon $1 Dollar Cookie with all sales being donated to @beaconcommunitykitchen. With the current regulations due to the pandemic, restaurants have been able to sell retail wine & beer, meaning Homespun can act just like a beer or wine store. Which has helped them a lot during the restricted opening time. Only one catch: the customer has to also purchase something to eat. The solution Home spun designed is that they are offering a $1 Rocky Road cookie, and they will donate and match that dollar, with all proceeds going to @beaconcommunitykitchen Cookies & Wine, together at last.

I need that beauty of my space. One quick, easy, and inexpensive way to instantly upgrade and warm up a room is to pick warm lighting. Florescent or LED lighting may save some cents (but be real...are you really putting that savings into something useful?) but the harsh cast of the light may be costing you happiness, as it strains your eyes and drains your soul. An easy favorite right now is at Brett's Hardware. In this video, you’ll see different size light bulbs, from tiny to gigantor! The gigantor one is being tried for a kids room to replace the standard white globe cover that came with the ceiling fan. It’s a conservative budget step to take before upgrading the ceiling fan with a more stylish look. Watch This > KATIE JAMES, INC. Need a beautiful website with ecommerce right now?
