Hi there, Dacula! I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.

But first, today's weather:

Beautiful with periods of sun. High: 74 Low: 50.

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

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

Here are the top three stories today in and around Dacula:

1. Missing 13-year-old Sean Ayling has been located safely. The missing Gwinnett County teen was located in the Norcross area. Ayling had been missing since Sep. 21. He has been reunited with his family. (WSBTV.com)
2. The Gwinnett County Fire Department reports that seven individuals were displaced after an early Monday morning fire. The incident occurred in the 3300 block of Hidden Forest Drive in Snellville shortly before 4:00 a.m. Thankfully, no civilians were injured during the incident. One firefighter did, however, sustain a minor injury during the response. His injury was treated at the scene. (Fox 5 Atlanta)
3. A series of Gwinnett County varsity football games have been moved to tomorrow. The schedule change is meant to avoid weather issues that may occur due to Hurricane Ian's impact. In total, ten games have been moved. All ten games will have a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. Click for the list of impacted games. (Subscription: Gwinnett Daily Post)
