A Little Beacon Blog's Space, located in the heart of Beacon's historic business district, is perfect for company meetings, gatherings, workshops, and other creations you have planned. We just got our second review!
"Renting this space was perfect for our small, creative company retreat. We had everything we needed to have a productive day, and the expectations were clearly laid out ahead of time in a transparent way. There's great parking (not always a given in Beacon), and you're in the thick of things when it comes to walking around after your event is over. 5/5, will retreat there again." - Alex Panagiotopoulos, Kingston Creative

Only a few (maybe two) short years ago, swimming lessons - and any opportunity to swim, really - were hard to come by in Beacon. You had to venture up and down 9D or across the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to enroll in swimming lessons for kids or adults. So many people were searching for information, we made a Swimming Lessons Guide for it. It was actually the first Guide we ever made. Now, we have more options closer to home.
Instruction is $40 per session. Each session has four lessons, so it comes to $10 per lesson.
For children who are enrolled in Camp @ The Camp, these swimming lessons are included with their camp tuition. The swimming lesson programming will be the same for kids in camp as it is for kids in group swimming lessons that happen at times separate from Camp @ The Camp.
All classes are American Red Cross Learn to Swim Level I. Instructional swim will be approximately 30 minutes, followed by a few minutes for free swim and reinforcing the lessons of the day. Class size is limited. Classes are for participants new to swimming with an emphasis on gaining confidence and learning how to be safe around water. Parents of children ages 3 and older should plan on remaining present in the University Settlement pool picnic area for the duration of the lesson.

reMade
133 Main Street
Get yourself a nice cold six-pack of the Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner (actually available at Rite Aid, or check the new Craft Beer Shoppe next to Key Food) and put it into this handcrafted mermaid bag by Michelle of 'BomChelle Bags available at reMADE right now. This isn't the only style, as in this collection you'll find a little of the sweet side, and a little of the rock-n-roll side, but they are all limited edition. Can't wait to see who is sporting this mermaid style!
A Classic Couture Fashion Boutique
178 Main Street
The Goddess look... Where can you get this much pleated organdy in a couture dress with this much flounce? At A Classic Couture Fashion Boutique, that's where, right near Artisan Wine Shop. This Marchesa dress could be worn for a summer evening out, or even as a wedding dress for those who are going short this year. You must try it on, at least...
Bellus on Main
181 Main Street
Ingenious Alert at Bellus on Main. Not only does Bellus have high fashion on their racks, but they look for really smart products to keep your life easy. Introducing the "droplet": a tiny blue ball that can fit on your keychain, and out pops a "dry bag" that can hold your wet bathing suit, used tissues, PB&J sandwiches, little kid snacks, and everything else that might wreck the super cute lining of your bag. Because - let's be real: Sometimes we buy bags just for the lining, and this dry bag will protect that.
Luxe Optique
183 Main Street
When we first saw the announcement from Luxe Optique that the new line of Anne et Valentine came in, we didn't realize what a big deal this handcrafted line was, a frame many agree "opens the eyes and provides definition." Upon seeing them in person, one could take pictures of these glasses for days and days. There are so many different looks and personalities inside each frame. The designers of the frames imagine very carefully the personality and energy of the wearer, and translate that into a sketch on the studio drawing board, matched with the right kind of metal and color. The two frames pictured here hooked our attention, with their cartoon-elegance look. But this isn't the only look you'll find in this collection right now at Luxe.
Style Storehouse
484 Main Street
Spring is indeed in the air at Style Storehouse, an oasis of soft fabrics that will surprise you when you try them on. Not to mention their easy pick-me-up jewelry to punch up any outfit. After your brunch or mid-afternoon lunch at Beacon Falls Cafe or Harry's, keep going past the restaurants to duck into Style Storehouse, and treat yourself to something fancy yet comfy.
Thank you reMADE, A Classic Couture Fashion Boutique, Bellus on Main, Luxe Optique, Style Storehouse, and SallyeAnder for sponsoring the Shopping Guide!
Now that your spring workouts have started up again, you get to relax those muscles under the healing hands of Karen at River Therapeutic Massage. An easy choice is a 60-minute massage that can include a variety of therapeutic massage techniques, such as Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, and others. To really kick it in, add a mini-hot stone treatment onto your massage, but let Karen know beforehand so that she can warm the stones. Book it now, and enjoy!

reMADE
133 Main Street
The process by which these art-to-wear scarves from Huzzah! Unique Handmade Wearables are made is fascinating. Dyed silk gauze fabric and only the finest, very soft merino wool "top" meticulously are arranged by hand. In the process of felting, the fibers merge with the silk and shrink to create the finished product. These pieces are light as a feather and can be worn year-round. You may have seen Huzzah! at Hudson Valley Farm and Flea, and she's a part of Makers on the Hudson. But lucky you, you can find these pieces at reMADE because owner Liz has a great eye.
Bellus on Main
181 Main Street
Maybe you've been trying to get into Bellus on Main but the "Closed" sign was up. It was because they are inside setting up for Spring! They are back from the fashion trade shows and inventory is in. Those who love the flowy Boho Chic look with off-the-shoulder shirts, dramatic sleeves with eyelet decoration, and beaded necklaces from Mexico and Turkey will love what they find in Bellus this weekend.
Classic Couture
178 Main Street
These little Prada pretties are waiting for a size 40.5 foot to slip them on. Covered in a pewter-gray silk and made in Italy, this d’Orsay pump with a strap will punch up your shoe collection. Add to that the high-couture Jack McConnell vintage cashmere felt hat with the feather plumes (pictured wih the pumps). You could hunt for these pieces on eBay, or you can find these treasures right here in Beacon at Classic Couture, near Artisan Wine Shop. PS: Welcome Classic Couture as a Featured Listing in the Shopping Guide!
Luxe Optique
183 Main Street
Come on, Spring! Almost here! The sun rays reflecting off the snow are requiring protective eyewear, and DITA's modern interpretation of the classic cat-eye style is available at Luxe Optique right now. Just one of many vintage-inspired styles you will find in this high-fashion optique boutique.
Raven Rose
474 Main Street
First of all, you need this cagey shelf in your life. Second of all that is a succulent you see growing from that vase, and there are more where those came from at Raven Rose. So much so, that we have been privy to owner Courtney's future plans for succulents, terrariums, and you. Stay tuned! But first, duck inside to see this shelf.
