🚌📚 I AM BEACON’S OWN?!?! 👀🤭

Here’s a fun Did You Know? The Beacon Historical Society’s brand new book, Hop on the Bus – Let’s Explore Beacon, features some familiar faces around Beacon! ❤️

Think you can spot them? 🔎😉

The book was created by Diane Lapis, Diane Murphy and illustrator Ed Miller, bringing Beacon’s places and stories to life in an animated new way. 🎨📖

And the best part? The first 100 families at this Saturday’s Back 2 School Block Party will receive a FREE copy of the book! 🎉
