I love the weekend guides that bring together all of the events that are happening in and around Beacon, and the site is always my first stop when there's some kind of buzz around local news - Katie always has the inside scoop! I've also rented A Little Beacon Space for an event, and was so satisfied with my experience - I'm looking forward to using it again in the future."
