Here are the top 3 stories today in Dunedin:

1. Are you thinking about checking out the Jolley Trolley's "World's Largest Brew Crawl"? Be sure to check out a review written by Stephanie Hayes of the Tampa Bay Times about her experience on the tour. While it wasn't necessarily smooth sailing, the pirate-themed experience is well worth the cost of $20 for a weekend of rides between breweries around Tampa Bay, where participants also receive discounts. The tour only runs through the end of May, after which they'll assess feedback and work out some kinks. Learn more about the brew crawl and get your tickets here. (Tampa Bay Times)
2. The Dunedin Public Library is hosting a virtual Author Talk featuring the author of the New York Times Bestseller, "Raising Anti-Racist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide." Britt Hawthorne is an educator and advocate who wrote this "interactive guide for strategically incorporating the tools of inclusivity into everyday life and parenting." Register now at the link to hear her speak about her book on May 3 at 1 p.m. (Dunedin Library)

• Meet Quad, an adorable four-year-old pup up for adoption through Pinellas County Animal Services. Not only does Quad loves kitties, but he makes a great playmate for other pups. He's shy at first, but he's quick to warm up to people. Those interested can meet Quad and any of his furry friends at Pinellas County Animal Services in Largo!
