🌱 Bauserween Fundraiser + Wine Tasting Tickets + Meet The Artists

Hey, everybody! It's me, Kristen, and I just wanted to give a special shoutout to everyone who continually leaves me positive feedback on my newsletters! I truly appreciate the support and love reading through your comments. Now, let's look at what's happening in Dunedin. Today's issue includes...

• Cafe Alfresco closed for renovations.
• Bauserween Halloween fundraising event for dogs.
• Added wine tasting event at the Wines the Blues Festival.

But first, today's weather: Couple of thunderstorms. High: 86 Low: 73.

Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. Rescue Not Retail is holding its annual Bauserween fundraising event on Oct. 29 between 2 and 6 p.m. at Bauser's. The event will include live music, a dunk tank, a chili cookoff, doggie pools, vendors, and more! Dress your pup up for a chance to win the costume contest and get their picture taken.

2. If you plan to attend the Wines the Blues Festival on Nov. 11, consider grabbing tickets to an exciting new wine tasting addition. You'll enjoy exclusive wine tastings at Stirling Wine, Wine by the Dock, and Grape Bottle Merchants as you enjoy the festival along Main Street.

3. Head to The Hub on Sept. 21 between 5:30 and 7 p.m. for a chance to meet the artists featured in their current exhibit.
