As You Go Out And About...Weekend Guide For 8/20/2021

As the last days of summer are here, you are wanting to enjoy them at fairs, festivals, movie nights under a pavilion, and more. When you do, we are recommending you be mindful of the high positivity rate of COVID-19 right now in Dutchess County. During the decline in June 2021, there were 56 Active Cases in Dutchess County, according to Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro during an address this week. As of August 18, 2021, there are 732 Active Cases. As of today, there are 30 Active Cases in Beacon. To help you track it, ALBB has revived our publishing of local Active Case and Hospitalization Numbers. You can read today's here. When you go out, try to create social distancing for yourself, even if it is not being provided for you. Like at a fairground or amusement park. Use your body language to make your space big. Only 55% of residents in Dutchess County have been fully vaccinated with all of the recommended doses of their brand (meaning, a good handful did not get their second shot).   THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Edited and Written By Teslie Andrade and Katie Hellmuth Martin You can sponsor this Event Guide with your event, for extra promotion of it!

Information > Back2School Block Party from I Am Beacon Day: August 21, 2021 Time: 12pm - 4pm Location: South Avenue Park (by Loopers Basketball Court) I Am Beacon and Key Food Marketplace announce the return of the “Back 2 School Block Party” on Saturday, August 21st at South Avenue Park in Beacon. Organizers say the purpose of the event is to support students as they head into the 2021-2022 school year by connecting families to local organizations, youth services and resources. President of I Am Beacon, Reuben Simmons, shares his sentiment for youth activities - “My Mom had me in many different programs growing up that helped shaped me into the person I am today. From playing sports to joining Boy Scouts and even being a part of Yanerella School of Dance. I believe it is important to keep our kids busy and active.” The free event will also provide people with an opportunity to donate school supplies to local children in need. The Back 2 School Block Party will have a free giveaway of  drawstring backpack to the first 100 students, which include informational material and a starter kit of supplies provided by Staples. The event will also have airbrush tattoos, activities, and music by DJ King Cyrus. There will be live performances throughout the day put on by The Beacon Players Club, Cub Scouts Pack 1, and Howland Chamber Music Circle. Additionally, a friendly basketball game between Beacon Hoops Coaches vs. City of Beacon Police Department and Dutchess County Sheriff’s Department followed by the Beacon Hoops All Star game is scheduled to begin at 12:30PM.
