 It's November's Second Saturday and it's time to see what new work Beacon's local art galleries have in store. Take a peek now at our Art Gallery Guide to decide what you want to see. Have you checked out Beacon's Free Bus, the Beacon Loop, yet? It's really easy! It can get you around town lickity-split! Hail it from literally anywhere on Main Street, and it will scoop you up and put you down where you want.
PS: An update to yesterday's protest in Beacon: about 200 reportedly participated in the local event, which was one of 900 protests across the country regarding the resignation of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General and his temporary replacement.

The For Goodness Bake Bake Sale
Day: Saturday, November 10, 2018
Time: 10 am to 4 pm
Location: 145 Main St., Beacon, NY
(aka Beacon Healing Massage & Create Space)
The For Goodness Bake event is a Beacon staple, and has become an annual event throughout the years. Started by Kristen Pratt and Tara Tornello, the community-sourced bake sale raises money for one particular cause that has demonstrated an urgent need in the community. Say Kristen and Tara for this year: “We wanted to raise funds to help keep a beloved Beacon family together. For four years, this local family (who must remain anonymous) has helped to nurture a little boy who needed a home. Now his future and their family are in jeopardy as they face a difficult fight for his rights.”

Please email us when you move into this home, because we already want to visit! We took a drive to this house - it has four fireplaces by the way - and the listing isn't kidding about stunning views of Mount Beacon. This house feels like a country home, is beautiful inside and out, and can fit a family. While it feels country, it is quite close to downtown Beacon. You are within walking distance to one of the best breakfast sandwiches at Bob's Corner Store. Call or email JonCar Realty to view the home: (845) 831-3331 or joncarrealty@yahoo.com.
