Here are the top three stories in Dunedin today:

1. The Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Coffee and Conversation series will feature mosaic artists Carol Sackman and Blake White on April 12 at noon. Their presentation is titled “Carol & Blake’s Mosaic House of Dunedin” and will include incredible images of their house, how the house has evolved, what it means to them, and how they work. This unique home has been a passion project for the last 19 years. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to learn more about the house that has been featured in “Roadside America.” Register online now! (Facebook| DFAC)
2. The Scottish American Society of Dunedin will host a concert for Ukraine on April 30 with all proceeds being donated to assist the cause. Bring a lawn chair to Weaver Park and relax while listening to music by North of Argyll, Whiskey Dreggs, and the Wendy Barmore Band. The concert begins at 3:00 pm and will include food, beer, and wine! Tickets are just $10. (Facebook)
3. The City of Dunedin has featured Tegan Williams, the owner of Seeds, in its latest Made in Dunedin video. Williams describes how suddenly losing her father in 2019 taught her that life is short, and she wanted to spend it doing something she enjoyed. "I enjoy doing the plants and teaching people about plants," Williams said. "It also teaches people about themselves and how if you lose one leaf another leaf is going to grow and you're going to be able to fix yourself just as much as you fix the plant." Watch the full video now to learn more about her story and why she chose Dunedin as the location for her store. (Facebook | Youtube)

• Do you know how to tell the difference between an egret, a stork, a crane, or a heron? According to the City of Dunedin, egrets and herons tuck their neck when they fly, while storks and cranes extend their neck. In Dunedin, you'll see the great egret, wood stork, great blue heron, and the sandhill crane. (Facebook)
• Meet the owners of Sunset Smoothies and Ice Cream, located near the Dunedin Causeway on the corner of Alt. 19 and Curlew Road. Dana is a proud momma of two boys and the sweetest person you will ever meet! One day while running the causeway, Dana realized the area needed some healthier options. After some major life decisions in 2021, she took the first step in opening a smoothie shop. Her business partner Jessica is also a proud boy momma! The decision to partner with Dana on this adventure was an easy one. While Jessica knows the road to running a business is long and hard, she hopes it will lead to freedom of her time. More time to spend with her son and doing the things she loves! Stop by today for a treat and to say hello to our new neighbors. (Facebook | SS Dunedin)
• Wondering if you can bring your pet on the Tiki Bus? The answer is yes! Dogs, cats, birds, pigs, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and other small creatures are welcome on the Tiki Bus, however, they draw a line at spiders. If you ever need a free ride, the Tiki Bus runs on Thursdays between 5:00 and 10:00 PM, and between 5:00 and 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. For the rest of the week, the Tiki Bus can be hired for private events. (Facebook | Local Tiki Rides)
