🌱 Creekview Partner of the Year + Mobile Food Pantry + Move-Over Law

Hello, friends! I'm back in your inbox this morning to walk you through all the most important things happening in town these days.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 89 Low: 64.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Woodstock-Towne Lake 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 five stories today in Woodstock-Towne Lake:

1. The Cherokee County School District (CCSD) has named Menchie's Frozen Yogurt-Riverstone a 2022 Creekview High School Partner of the Year. Every Thursday, Creekview HS students can purchase Menchie's in the lunchroom, and the booth is often run by Special Education teachers and students. (CCSD Press Release)
2. The First Baptist Church of Woodstock is holding a mobile food pantry for those in need in our area. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the food pantry will be at the church's Family Life Center at 2473 Coldwater Road. An ID must be provided to show residency. (11 a.m.)
3. The Canton Police Department posted on Facebook to remind us of the Move-Over Law. The law states that drivers must move over for emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the road. On the highway, you should move over one lane when you encounter stopped emergency vehicles. If traffic is too heavy to do so, you must slow down below the speed limit. (Canton PD via Facebook)
4. Today is the last day to ensure a shirt for the Multicultural Festival 5K coming up on September 10. The festival will take place at Etowah River Park on Brown Industrial Parkway, with the race starting at 9 a.m. The festival is free and will include music and food from all over the world. Please see the website for 5K registration information. (Canton Georgia Website)
5. The Cherokee County Aquatic Center is closing out the swim season with "Paws in the Pool" on September 11. Bring your pup over to enjoy the Oasis during the small dog or large dog swim times. Dogs must have proof of current vaccinations (distemper, parvo and rabies) and must be spayed or neutered. There is a limit of two dogs per owner and owners may not swim with the dogs. Please register online. (Cherokee Recreation and Parks)
