There was a festival today in this part of the world, on the waterfront in Beacon, NY, alongside the Farmers’ Market (or surrounding it). Beacon’s a Hudson River town and, without a doubt, everyone there today was happy-perhaps energized by the sun and fun. Did someone place an order for perfect weather? The sights were splendid. Boats on the glistening water, mountains in the background, the train station with its every-hour train from Poughkeepsie stopping and then whizzing away, singers and musicians (a solar trailer powered the sound system), food (the popular apple fritters long gone before the people were), a truck which runs on canola oil was parked nearby. And there was the busy ferry waiting to transport folks from Newburgh to Beacon and back again. A lot was happening in that small area – a lot of good things.
