🌱 Piper Grand Finale + Youth Basketball League + Map Painting Class

Hello, Dunedin! I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Today we'll cover these stories and more:

• A Pop Up Boot Camp benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
• The Piper on the Pier Grand Finale.
• A Coastal Watercolor Map Painting Workshop this weekend.

But first, today's weather: Showers and a heavier t-storm. High: 80 Low: 74.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Dunedin who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. This weekend wraps up the season for the city's Piper on the Pier. The last performance will be held on April 29 at the downtown marina during sunset, which is predicted to happen at 8:04 p.m. This grand finale event will include a larger number of bagpipers than most weekends, who will all march down the pier as they play "Amazing Grace." You won't want to miss it! (City of Dunedin via Facebook)
2. Evaluations for the new Youth Co-Ed Basketball League are coming up on April 29, May 6, and May 11. The program offers three age divisions for kids between 7 and 15 across several cities in North Pinellas County. This cooperative instructional basketball league is designed to teach the basic skills and rules of the game to new or seasoned players. Those interested must register by May 13 online here or in person at Dunedin Community Center or MLK, Jr. Recreation Center. (Dunedin Gov)
3. Laura Lobdell of Printed Hues is hosting a Coastal Watercolor Map Painting Workshop on April 29 at 10 a.m. at Tampa Bay Interiors. Lobdell will teach participants watercolor techniques while demonstrating how to paint the provided 8x10-inch template of a local coastline. All painting supplies will be provided and are yours to take home, including a 36-color set of watercolor paints, a set of six brushes, a mixing palette, and a paintable watercolor guide.
