This Weekend :: Things To Do 4/4/2025

Hello. This week was quite a week. During Cory Booker's 25 hour long speech, which had many inspiring quotes in it, ALBB was publishing "regular" news articles that we were scheduled to work on. Like about the Newburgh/Beacon ferry, and then the person who fell off the bike. But you all were writing in, asking "Where is the protest on April 5th? WHERE!?!" It's heartwarming. That you turn to ALBB for this information. Knowing that we will also charm you with shopping and eating ideas. Because you want both of them. You want your veggies, your meat (or vegan) and potatoes, and your dessert. Speaking of veggies and meat, the Beacon Farmer's Market's fundraiser to double the SNAP dollars for customers who use assistance to buy fresh Farmer's Market food is on Sunday. Details below. Beacon customers have already lost some of their benefits in these DOGE cuts. Also, after Cory Booker's speech, he voted to authorize the United States to pay for and produce more bombs to Israel to blow up Palestinians. He was no Kendrick Lamar. Social media went wild with pulling old Cory speeches of him emphatically defending Israel. And he didn't mention Palestine or disappeared Americans speaking out for Palestine in his 25 hours of talking. Will be writing more about that at Tin Shingle. Greg Stoker observed today about the Palestinian bodies flying into the air from the bombs, and how people he used to serve with would bet on how high the bodies would fly during a drone strike. Stay safe this weekend please. Step away from any situation that does not serve you. Take deep breaths. Go to great events. See your neighbors. Buy something cute. Bite into something delicious. And now...onto our much needed Retail Therapy :) BOOK YOUR EVENT PLACEMENT NOW Single purchases of Event Promotions are available. Membership for discounted recurring events are available. Shops, Restaurants, Beauty and Classes advertisers in ALBB's membership get events promoted as needed. Budget varies per number of listings.
