The First Week! :: Retail Therapy Guide 1/5/2024

First weekend of the New Year! Happy 2024!

With that, the potential first snow storm of the year! Classic arrival after December, kicking off January with snow plowing and salt. Remember to get a car wash afterwards, to wash of that salt from the bottom of your car.

When there is more than 2" of snow, cars need to be off the street so that the snowplows from Beacon's Highway Department can come through. Buddy up with your neighbors or park in a free public parking lot.

To open up the DMV parking lot for the anticipated cars moving from the street to the parking lot, the Beacon Farmers Market is closed this Sunday. But fear not, you can order your eggs, steak, pork, lamb and goat from Eggberts Free Range Farm, who will stock their van for online orders and make free deliveries once the roads are clear.
