"Last Call 10pm" And The Retail Therapy Guide 11/13/2020

It's Second Saturday! The world may be changing (for the better), but Second Saturday remains. If you need to de-stress from the week, consider visiting Beacon's Beans Cat Cafe, which is open (a place to hang with cats, get a Black and White latte with whipped cream, and do you need more? ALBB's Izzy Dabashi wrote about it here). Meanwhile, the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) really needs your help, as all of their in-person fundraisers have been canceled due to you-know-what. Donate here to their latest fundraiser, which is at 30% of its goal. For humans who need groceries, ALBB just updated our Food Pantry Guide with the PayPal info to donate to Mutual Aid Beacon. They have been working since the beginning of the pandemic to bring people food and connect them with resources, and are always involved in projects. And for this week's biggest news, the 10pm curfew imposed on the late night scene of restaurants and bars. As one 8 year old said: “Everybody knows that COVID cases are coming from people kissing at bars.” The truth may be that infections are spreading at home as people get lax in their social circles. Regardless, how are Beacon restaurants and bars dealing with it? We interviewed a bunch, and got some answers. PS: Beacon has 8 COVID cases at moment, but there are 234 cases who are pending address confirmation according to the Dutchess County Dashboard.                      THE SECOND SATURDAY GUIDE Edited and Written By: Catherine Sweet You guys, we need your help! A Little Beacon Blog keeps the most comprehensive Second Saturday Guide around. That is because it is actually hard and time consuming to find info from the artists! But our editor Catherine sleuths around for it, and finds it. Basically, exhibits are usually announced a day before they open LOL so this is always a crunch-time type Guide for us. But the artists LOVE it, especially those who are popping up in unusual places, like Twins Barber Shop. Trouble is, we need at least 5 Corporate or Individual Sponsor for it. Are you in? Details are HERE for Business or Individual Subscription Sponsorships, and they are on sale now. Artists and Galleries can have their own advertising package too, for a lower price. Details on artists pricing are HERE, and includes extra photo and Instagram options.

From  Binnacle Books, “Drawn from author Kao Kalia Yang’s childhood experiences as a Hmong refugee, this moving picture book portrays a family with a great deal of love and little money. Weaving together Kalia’s story with that of her beloved grandmother, the book moves from the jungles of Laos to the family’s early years in the United States. When Kalia becomes unhappy about having to do without and decides she wants braces to improve her smile, it is her grandmother—a woman who has just one tooth in her mouth—who helps her see that true beauty is found with those we love most. Stunning illustrations from Vietnamese illustrator Khoa Le bring this inter-generational tale to life.”  Binnacle Books is a ALBB Sponsor, thank you!
