Good morning, Loganville and Grayson! Like many of you, the Patch staff is taking some time off for the holiday, so there will not be a newsletter in your inbox on Monday morning. We'll catch up with you bright and early on Tuesday, but in the meantime, have a great Labor Day weekend!

📣 Our readers love to celebrate good news! You can now shout out your big announcement at the top of the Loganville-Grayson Daily newsletter. Whether it's a grand opening, new product for sale, birthday, anniversary, engagement, wedding or new baby, let everyone celebrate alongside you! Submit your announcement here.

First, today's weather:

A couple of thunderstorms. High: 82 Low: 70.

Here are the top stories today in Loganville-Grayson:

1. Three roads around the Town Green will be closed on Saturday, Sep. 3, beginning at 4 p.m. The closures are for the re-scheduled Groovin' on the Green concert, which will feature the band Purple Madness.

2. The Gwinnett Chamber has announced seven winners out of 100 finalists at the 2022 Moxie Awards, which is presented by Northside Hospital.

3. Loganville High School's Varsity Softball is celebrating its 12-5 win over George Walton! Brooklin Lippert led the offense going three for four with a double.

4. Pregnant people in Georgia may now use High Occupancy Vehicle or HOV lanes. This ruling comes after the state’s abortion law which now recognizes embryos and fetuses as persons with full rights. Fetuses and embryos are also included in Georgia population counts, and expecting parents can get a $3000 tax deduction for dependents on state taxes. (WABE 90.1 FM)
