Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. The Penny Lane Ultimate Beatles Museum has found a new location, moving from the 500-square-foot space upstairs at 730 Broadway in Dunedin’s downtown Stirling Commons to the former Citibank building at 2046 Bayshore Boulevard. Moving will give it roughly 6,500 square feet to display the private collection, making room for a lot of items that haven't been seen yet such as one of Ringo Starr’s drum kits. Visitors can expect exhibits set up as moveable “pods,” like a John Lennon tribute room in the former bank vault and a gift shop at the new location. They can also expect an admission fee, however, the amount hasn't been made public yet. (Sun Coast News)
2. Dunedin Parks & Recreation is hosting its free annual Senior Awareness Fair at the Hale Senior Activity Center on January 28 between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. The fair will feature over 50 vendors offering information on a variety of topics, including medical equipment, beauty, nutrition, exercise, legal and financial help, retirement living and home care. The health department will also be at the fair administering the flu and booster shots for those interested. Lunch will be provided. (Press Release Desk)
3. The Fenway Hotel is hosting a free Wedding Showcase for couples on January 30 at 1:00 PM. More than 50 local vendors will be there offering information on various wedding necessities such as photographers, bridal accessories, caterers, and more. Register online to attend. Show proof of your registration to receive 10% off of lunch or dinner that day at the Fenway Hotel. (Patch)

Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They’re chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond “Dry January.” We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we’ve since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the perfect amount of zing. We're converts.

Enough of you took Betera up on their 15% discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they’ve extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — try Betera here.
