Dedham Reads 2025 Wine Tasting and Paint Nite

Please join us on Friday evening, May 2, 2025 at TLC Studios and Media Lab in Dedham, for the culmination program of Dedham’s annual community-wide reading event Dedham Reads Together. This year’s program is titled "Dedham Reads Together 2025: Celebrating Unlikely Friendships," which features our lead book selection The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. Special thanks to our Lead Sponsor Needham Bank, and Supporting Sponsor Dedham Savings for helping make this special event possible!

Reynolds (author/illustrator from The Blue Bunny, TLC Studios) who will lead the attendees in a stress-free painting activity, and restaurateur Stan Hilbert (Few & Far, Satellite Bottle Shop), who will offer a wine tasting with commentary on the natural and organic wines he shares.
