"In the pink light of pre-dawn deep in the Catskill Mountains, a pile of twigs and leaves began to stir on the forest floor. Black Bear emerged from his den and stretched, and scowled. "Peep, peep, peep" he heard, "peep, peep, peep." Following the sound he came to a scrub-shrub swamp filled with tiny frogs..."
And so begins "Black Bear's Hudson Valley Tale" - a "music-telling" performance piece conceived by Madera Vox, with a story and illustrations by award-winning children's author Iza Trapani and original music by David Gluck. The premiere is set for October 2009 at the CENTER for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck, NY, to coincide with the conclusion of the the Hudson/Fulton/Champlain Quadricentennial.

Artisan Wine Shop
BEST Place to Pair Wine & Food! Looking to wow dinner guests with your ability to match meals with just the right wine? Consider Mei Ying So and Tim Buzinski your senseis, and their Saturday-afternoon wine-food tastings your dojo. The Artisan Wine Shop owners call on their CIA
backgrounds to compose such harmonious pairings as shrimp escabèche with Spanish whites and grilled skirt steak tacos with California reds. (The hours-long sessions are a blast to attend, too.) Bring in your dinner menu and So and Buzinski will even
create a complementary wine list, which you can then set up as a registry for your guests to use. · 845-440-6923;
Be Mine Again
BEST Consignment Shop Block! Love Me Too Times and Be Mine Again. Beacon wins big for its arts and culture scene, and now the charming river town can add affordable style to its list. Made with the recessionista in mind, Love Me Too Times and Be Mine Again consignment boutiques - both a hop, skip, and one-piece jumpsuit away from each other on Main Street - offer the perfect combo of recycling and shopping for the family on a tight budget. Lightly used, high-end fashions (think Donna Karan, Coach, and
Gucci) often fill their racks, but it doesn't end there. In addition to clothing and accessories, each shop boasts lots of
extras: Be Mine Again carries home décor and antiques, and Love
Me Too Times holds regular music and art events.
