🌱 Volunteers Needed + Exhibit Registration Open + Auditions Coming Up

Hi all! I'm here with your fresh copy of the Woodstock-Towne Lake Daily, filled with all the community information you need to know right now.

First, today's weather:

Clouds and sun with a t-storm. High: 80 Low: 55.

📢 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 three stories in Woodstock-Towne Lake today:

1. Cherokee Recreation & Parks is looking for volunteers for The Great Pumpkin Fest on October 22 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Cherokee Veterans Park in Canton. Volunteers will help with set up, the game and craft area, archery and cleanup. The time spent counts towards community service service hours, if needed. Anyone interested can reach out via email to jshallman@cherokeega.com or phone at 770-924-7768. (Cherokee Recreation & Parks via Facebook)
2. Registration is open for the "small town, small works" exhibit at the Reeves House. The exhibit will run from October 27 to December 23. To enter, you must live within 15 miles of Woodstock and the piece you are entering must be 15-inch by 15-inch or smaller, including the frame. All local artists are encouraged to enter their work for consideration. Registration closes on October 3. You can apply online until then. Please check out the submission requirements and important dates on the Woodstock Arts website. (Woodstock Arts)
3. Auditions for the annual production of “A Christmas Carol” at Woodstock Arts are Sunday and Monday, September 18 and 19 at 6 p.m. Video auditions will be accepted until September 19, and those can be sent to the director Zach Stolz at zach@woodstockarts.org.
