Oh, there is so much going on, you'd think it was 2nd Saturday. Special happenings at Dia (from now through the rest of the year for residents!) Lots of music (thanks in part to BACA member Stephen Clair - see more in At Work). Lots of events at Beacon Institute and Howland Cultural Center (including meet the candidates!) and lots of stuff for kids and families. Have fun! Remember Sunday is the Pumpkin Festival!

Stephen Clair might be the hardest working artist in Beacon that you don't know. Unless you are 4 years old that is. Then you would know him as Sing-along Slim. For those of you who haven't been at Zuzu's when the slim man works your tot into a vocal frenzy, you are missing out. For adults, Stephen is the man behind Local 845 bringing an eclectic mix of live music to various venues (many free of cover charge) and will be bringing live concerts to Riverside Park next summer.
This week he is presenting at Piggy Bank (Friday), Howland Cultural Center (Sunday), Open Space (Thursday) and Singing as Slim on Tuesday.
