A Night on the Town to Fall in Love... With Dedham

How do you spell "escape" this week? Cocktails, a mashed potato bar, and a toast to Dedham's 375th birthday

You work hard, but your to-do list never seems to get any shorter. Now it's time to take a break and enjoy yourself.  It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier.

If you’re like me, Valentine’s Day comes with mixed feelings.  I don’t want my guy to feel slighted but at the same time, I don’t really want to pour money into a Hallmark holiday.  Plus, I know the emphasis on couples is hard for my single friends. Luckily, this Valentine’s Day we can all celebrate love  - a love of Dedham!

Bring your sweetheart or your friends and neighbors – just don’t bring your kids!
