Here are the top three stories in Dunedin today:

1. The Pinellas County Sherriff's Office reports that a woman attempted to show her sobriety through "multiple ballet and Irish folk dance moves" after rear-ending another vehicle on Apr. 27. The incident occurred approximately one mile from the woman's home. Amy Harrington, 38, was not successful with her dance moves because she has been charged with driving under the influence with property damage while refusing to submit a breathalyzer test. (WFLA)
2. Looking for a new home here in Dunedin? Patch has compiled a list of upcoming in-person open houses in the area. Check out our latest real estate to view the full list, which prices, home specs, and open house times. (Dunedin Patch)
3. Pinellas County commissioners are considering a possible renegotiation of the Cross Bay Ferry agreement. The county has until Jun. 1 to opt out of the existing agreement. The current agreement outlines the subsidy pay structure that would increase each year until it hits $255,000 in the fiscal year 2025. (Tampa Bay Newspapers)
