Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 1/17/2026

It's been quite a week in Beacon. We have all been watching Minnesota. A Little Beacon Blog has been contributing by republishing some developments to allow more of us to bear witness. But on Wednesday, a woman was attacked in Beacon on Tioronda Avenue during her morning walk, and everything stopped. Beacon is currently keeping watch for the male suspect who remains at large. We will be sending you a News Digest next with all of those details. But for now, we are pausing for Retail Therapy and Things To Do. As always ALBB thanks our Business Member Sponsors, whose financial support allows us to keep reporting the news. ALBB also thanks our Member Contributors, who are readers who donate on a monthly basis, or randomly. At the core, our appreciation is for you, dear reader, for reading and sending your feedback when you're feeling it. Thank you.

New Year With A Big, Swooping 6 - Journaling Into 2026

This photo was taken with Instagram publishing in mind - a quick and honorary time stamp of the changing of the year, as first published at our sister couture branding agency Katie James, Inc.

ALBB has been in a winter break pause, finishing with travel and accomplishing things on our own Things To Do lists. May your new year be filled with the fresh air you need right now. Journaling is highly recommended ✍🏼 in any form: including rage journaling, sexy journaling, normal journaling.

This photo is dedicated to ALBB reader Carman Johnson, who also loves pens and is particular about her ball point or jell.

Check A Little Beacon Blog’s Shopping Guide for places in Beacon to find journals to your taste, including Binnacle Books, Zakka Joy, Stanza Books, and Another Door.

Sometimes ALBB does head up to Barnes and Noble on Route 9 to their journal section (but Stanza has many of the same styles), and most recently to Staples, who has a particular golden journal for $11.99 from the Martha Stewart stationery line. After writing through piles of journals with different prints on them, the pause of the single golden cover on repeat has been pleasant.

ALBB prefers buying office supplies such as HP LaserJet toner from an IRL location, and Staples is such a spot. You should see their office pen selection. Some of which can also be found in Key Food Beacon new Gift Wrapping and Stationery section.

Be well. ✨

Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 11/08/2025

Whenever someone asks "How are you?", Katie of ALBB gets to answer: "Good." Because despite this president pushing the Supreme Court to keep SNAP closed on Friday night, Katie gets to work directly with local businesses who are opening their kitchens and budgets to people suffering through extreme anxiety and hunger right now. Just before Halloween, upon learning that SNAP (aka Food Stamps) would be shut down for people, one of ALBB's longest running financial supporters, Chef Jon Lombardi of Carter's Restaurant decided  to offer 20 free Thanksgiving meals to people in need. We released it on Instagram/Facebook first, and reservations came in, as did glimpses into people's lives who are going without right now. This prompted Chef Jon to double the number of meals to 40. Read about the genesis of this idea below in Carter's sponsor spot, and forward to a friend in need so that they can sign up. The Beacon Bicycle Coalition learned about it, and offered free bike delivery. ALBB is coordinating. Readers have inquired about donating for more meals should we reach 40 signups. Chef Jon is figuring out the cost per meal, and we will provide the answer. Feeding people weekly is Beacon Back Yard with free early-morning breakfasts, and they need your dollars, so go donate. Fareground as well, needs your donations to keep giving people groceries.  BOOK YOUR EVENT PROMOTION Single purchases of Event Promotions are available.

Palestinians are still dying from starvation, disease, and lack of medical care after two years under relentless assault. Families have no homes, no hospitals, no food, and no safety — trapped in a cage of death. "Despite the October ceasefire, Israel has continued to violate its terms; cutting aid, restricting fuel, and carrying out deadly attacks across Gaza and the West Bank. "We’re keeping our Sunday rallies going to continue building momentum, and to hold the line in demanding accountability from U.S. and Israeli politicians like Trump and Netanyahu for their role in the genocide in Gaza. "We encourage folks to bring any art supplies: large markers, canvases, cardboard, paint and brushes, or anything else you have — so we can create new protest signs on the spot."

How The 20 Free Thanksgiving Meals Started: One rainy Thursday morning before Halloween, while Katie was jogging outside and Jon was shopping for food to cook that day at his restaurant, he asked: “I don’t think I remember things being so political. Why are people so political these days?” Katie answered: “I think it’s because things keep impacting people’s every day lives. Parts of how they live their lives are being taken away or threatened, and because of that, they have to speak out. Like, my friend is going to lose SNAP, and that upsets me. So I am going to speak out.” Not everyone is familiar with the SNAP acronym. “SNAP?” Jon asked. “What’s that?”  “Food Stamps,” Katie answered. “They are turning off Food Stamps in November because of the government shutdown.” “Sh*t,” Jon said.  “Yeah,” Katie said. “I qualified for them over the summer, and I experienced the feeling of going through the cashier line, and having to decide what to buy because not everything is eligible on that SNAP money card. Mayor Lee of the City of Beacon just announced they are going to issue grocery gift cards to SNAP recipients, and the Beacon Farmer’s Market always accepts SNAP dollars and doubles them, and they are figuring out what to do when the money doesn’t drop down into the card.” Jon took a moment. “Well they are going to need Thanksgiving dinner.” Katie responded, “Yes they are.” Jon’s wheels started turning. His mind is very creative, especially when it comes to feeding people. Food is Jon’s love language. Finally, he started speaking again. “Tell them we are going to donate 20 turkeys. Is that enough? I’m at the store now. Let me price it out. They will be frozen, is that OK?” Stopping in her tracks, Katie said: “Yeah!” “Ok, Jon said. I’m getting prices. I’ll call you back.” Jon did call back, and we started developing the plan of how to take signups. Then Katie said: “Jon - what if, maybe, what if maybe the people could also have some famous Carter’s mashed potatoes to warm up in the oven with the turkey. Just so that they can have some starch.” Jon thought a minute, and then said: “Nah…because then I’d have to throw in apple pie.” The menu developed from there. Jon’s catering brain fully engaged, and he thought out the entire menu that those in need can sign up for an pick up to cook at home. The form to submit a signup for a meal is here at the bottom of the article. Please send to a friend in need, and/or use it yourself. The first 20 meals have been reserved already. We are taking signups for the next round now.  Read The Full Story > JOIN ALBB'S BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP FOR FEATURES Eggbert’s Free Range Farm The sizzle of Eggbert’s Ground Beef can be yours at home too!

Meanwhile...the big weekend is here!!

Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 9/20/2025

A lot of news happened in Beacon over the past two weeks, and we have the News Digest coming for you next. But before you dive down into ALBB's deliciousness of Beacon businesses, shopping and events, here is a peek of the article answering some of your questions on if the City of Beacon and Schools lowered the flags to half-mast. Several of you wrote in asking that question. Preparing for that article triggered a series of strange events that we also published about, which will be expanded upon in the News Digest. Last night, breaking news came in that the man charged with harassing Beacon Bread Company and other Arab businesses in Beacon and other downstate areas of New York was charged with 22 counts of making terroristic threats against frontrunning NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. That was very good news for many in the Beacon community, so we paused to publish that last evening.  For those who write into ALBB sometimes to say "Why can't we post the nice things? The pretty things?" ... ALBB reminds you that good news comes in different packages. Sometimes it is an unfiltered moment of a flowerbud drinking the sun, and sometimes it is in a courtroom when a man who has been repeadetly harassing and scaring people is finally charged. This gives peace to people he did it to in the past, and hope for people he and others like him will do in the future. Enjoy your weekends in Beacon!
