Many Updates Have Been Made
From karate to clay classes, several new classes are available to pick from this fall. We are adding more as they are posted, but use the Kids Classes Guide to help you plan your after school activities.

Beacon's After School Program goes until 6pm every day and runs each day that school is in session. All Sport has a few spots left in their program, should you want to coordinate with your own workout or kids swimming lessons at the gym.

What'll it be this week from Get Frosted Cupcakery? The Cookies 'n Cream looked perfect, but word on the street is that the Lemon Raspberry is flying out of the case as soon as it goes in.


Do you want to book your office party, corporate event, or wedding reception at The Vault and enjoy their amazing menu with local purveyors, and beautiful location? You can. Just call them to book it at (845) 202-7735.
PS: The Vault will be closed on Monday for Labor Day.


Did you know what when you have a burger at Dogwood, The Vault, or Poppy's, you are having a special blend of meat from Barb's Butchery? Barb's is a local favorite, and even serves her own famous burger at lunch at 69 Spring Street.


A Tequila drinker's paradise, BAJA 328 pours over 100 tequilas, the largest selection in the area.


Our Restaurant Guide has all of your options - even eateries you didn't know about! Keep it open on your phone because phone numbers and websites are listed for so that you can easily tap-to-call!



A family in Beacon got one of these Tree Pods and hung it in their back yard for lounging, and the photo of them in it went viral. You can get yours at Mountain Tops, the outfitter store on the west end of Main Street. Tree not required. Hang from your porch.


Maybe you saw these two outside of Style Storehouse sellng lemonade for a cause - to fight Alzheihmer's "for Gigi." When you're walking all the way down Main Street, go all the way around the bend for more boutiques, and you may see them again.



There' a new partner in town at The Pfotoshop! Jackie's sister. And they just went shopping in NYC to fill the store. Look for cheeky cards, stunning jewelry, men's stuff (tools?), kids stuff, and even doggie gifts.

All shops in Beacon are listed in this Shopping Guide, from Home Decor to Kids Fashion to Vintage and more. Keep it open on your phone as you're walking around shopping!



Book 90 minutes of YES with River Therapeutic Massage and enjoy therapeutic massage techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, acupressure, heat and/or aromatherapy. You pick, depending on your goals for the session. Book now.
