🌱 Ducklings Rescued + Finding Nemo Jr. Musical + Under The Sea Dance

Good morning! It's Kristen, your host of the Dunedin Patch newsletter. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town. Today we'll cover these stories and more:

• Pinellas County deputies rescue adorable ducklings.
• Tickets to the upcoming Finding Nemo Jr. musical.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and less humid. High: 87 Low: 73.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Dunedin:

1. Pinellas County deputies came to the rescue of a mother duck in distress Memorial Day weekend, resulting in some adorable photos. Sergeant Mark Eastty and Corporal Tyler Busch responded to a call on Memorial Day from a resident reporting some ducklings had fallen into a storm drain outside of Dunedin Elementary School. The deputies gathered the ducklings in a bucket before reuniting them with their mother. You can check out the photos from their rescue mission at the link. (Dunedin Patch)
2. Tickets are now on sale for Finding Nemo Jr., performed by Progressive Arts on June 17 at 2 p.m. in the Dunedin Community Center. Bring the family down to enjoy this interactive full-length musical. Tickets to this new show are just $15 and help support Progressive Arts. Get them now at the link. (Progressive Arts)
3. Reboot is hosting an Enchantment Under the Sea Dance on June 9 at 8 p.m. to raise funds for Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring fishable, swimmable, and drinkable water for everyone in the Tampa Bay area.
