TakeOut, Beautiful Candles, More | Retail Therapy Guide 12/11/2020

In a throwback to the Bicycle Menorah, in the olden days of when sculptor Ed Benavente designed and built what became Beacon's annual nightly menorah lighting, organized by Beacon Arts, Beacon Hebrew Alliance, and the City of Beacon...Happy Hanukkah! This photo was taken in 2017, on the 7th night when the lighting was dedicated to Activists. The lights represent "a bright light into the darkness." In New York City, Governor Cuomo has ended indoor dining for now, encouraging outdoor and takeout. Other parts of New York, including Beacon, are still able to offer some capacity of indoor dining. However, ordering takeout is crucial to these restaurants. Quinn's, for instance, announced this week that they are doing takeout only. PRO TIP: If a restaurant does takeout, but does not deliver, tell your friends to keep you on speed-text if they are ever ordering. This way, you can also call in an order, pay for it, and your friend can do a group pickup for all of you. That's what we're going to do for Quinn's. We are putting our neighbors on high-alert, that if they place an order, tell us! Because we will piggy-back on that pickup. Shout-out to Vogel Pharmacy, who despite moving out of Beacon when their building on Main Street went up for sale (now is home to graphic design agency Beacon Digital, next door to Homespun) still reaches Beaconites by delivering to homes. They delivered before the pandemic, and continue to do so. With extra love and a personal note. Vogel's new home on 9D, near the Dollar Store, has plenty of parking, and they will even deliver to your car if you have little kids in the car. LATEST NUMBERS: Beacon has 41 active COVID cases as of today. That number is not going down. East Fishkill has 133 and Poughkeepsie has 90, with Poughkeepsie City at 102. There are 390 cases awaiting address confirmation. ALBB is looking into what that means.     THE SECOND SATURDAY GUIDE Edited and Written By: Catherine Sweet    GET THE FULL SECOND SATURDAY ART GUIDE THE RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Edited and Written By: Marilyn Perez and Katie Hellmuth Martin Illuminance - A Fundraising Concert by The Daisy Jopling Band Days: Friday-Sunday, December 11-13, 2020 Time: 8pm (Fri), 10pm (Sat), 2pm (Sun) Location: Zoom From the organizers: "Benefiting The Bannerman Caste Trust & The Daisy Jopling Music Mentorship Foundation.

The experts in energy project finance and landscape architecture who developed it will explain its positive, long-term impacts to your community."
