Hey, neighbors! It's me, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Daily. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy, showers around. High: 73 Low: 64.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Hoover who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Hoover today:

1. The 2022 Ho Ho Hoover-Randle Open House saw a crowd of more than 200 attendees, along with 120 volunteers, entertainers, and special guests. The event was a fundraiser for Hoover Helps, a nonprofit which provides food and clothing for children in need. Attendees were able to tour the historic Hoover-Randle Home & Gardens, participate in a silent auction, and have entertainment provided by the Hoover High School choir and Buccanette and Dazzler dance teams from Hoover and Spain Park high schools.
