St. John’s Episcopal Church

Celebrate the time of the longest nights with this delightful 
seasonal performance of Solstice stories and songs from around the 
world. Award-winning storyteller Diane Edgecomb brings to life the 
enchanting traditional tales told at Solstice-time from the poignant 
Greek legend The Halcyon Days of Peace and humorous English 
Wassail traditions to the Tanzanian story of how the animal kingdom 
brought light and life during the darkest times. Accompanied by Margot 
Chamberlain on Celtic harp and multi-instrumentalist Tom Megan, the 
performance resonates with original melodies and new songs for the 
Solstice as well as beautiful arrangements of traditional songs evoking 
the magic of the season. A winner of both the national and regional 
Oracle awards for her storytelling, Edgecomb brings passion, humor and 
depth to her retelling of these ancient tales. After the performance, 
complimentary seasonal refreshments will be served. This captivating 
celebration of the Solstice has been a beloved Boston tradition for over
 thirty years.
Performances are held in the Parish Hall at Saint John's Episcopal Church. <a href="https://www.simpletix.com/e/the-winter-solstice-in-story-and-song-tickets-242163" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Get tickets here!</a>

Dogtopia – Dog Daycare, Boarding, Spa & Wellness

Dogtopia of Dedham

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.
