Yummmm......Things To Do In Beacon Guides 7/12/2026

Last week we featured ALBB's newest sponsor and one of Beacon's most valued taxi services - from Luther Lopez of AQ Services - and it turns out you'd like a ride to the airport! For your convenience, his phone number has been added to ALBB's Business Directory in the Automotive section, which you can find here.

List your business any time with A Little Beacon Blog in our Business Directory. Different levels of sponsorship and integration into our website, social media and newsletter are available (rates range from  $35-$850/month).

ALBB's Things To Do In Beacon Guides were recently featured in Upstate House, and are a favorite with locals and tourists alike. If your business is on Main Street, or is a school, you qualify for sponsorship (rate is $150/month for full weekly treatment)!

As always,
Free Palestine :)
