First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 92 Low: 74.

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

Here are the top five stories today in Douglasville:

1. A new CBD vending machine is coming to Douglasville's Arbor Place Mall. Genesis Boutique & CBD will be teaming up with Green Box Robotics to make CBD products accessible and easy to find by bringing them to one of the town's biggest shopping hubs. The products are meant to provide customers with lower anxiety, healthier sleep habits, and soothe pain in the body. (Vending Market Watch)
2. Douglas County and Georgia’s Own Credit Union will host their 20th Annual September Saturdays Festival on Sep. 17 and 24. The festival is a free event on both days, with a variety of fun activities and vendors to keep everyone entertained. The first Saturday is Heroes Day which recognizes local heroes and law enforcement, and the second Saturday is Family Fun themed, which recognizes everyone in the Douglas County community. Admission and parking are completely free, and all Douglas County residents are invited! (Douglas County Georgia)
3. This Saturday, Jul. 30, will kick off the new Douglas County Agri-trail! Douglas County Travel & Tourism will be holding the event to showcase how many places in the Douglasville area are supporting and promoting growing food locally. There will also be food tastings, gift bags, and gardening advice for those who attend. Make sure to stop by this weekend to have some fun and learn a new skill! (Douglas County Georgia)
