Here are the top three stories in Woodstock-Towne Lake today:

1. To honor America's veterans, the City of Woodstock is holding the annual Veterans Day Ceremony Friday, November 11, in The Park at City Center. The Major General Warren R. Johnson Marine Corps League Detachment #1311 in Woodstock, American Legion Post 316 Woodstock and Warriors' Watch Riders will be there to celebrate the veterans that have given us the liberty and freedom we hold sacred in our country. The ceremony will start at 7 p.m., and there will be a coffee and donut social afterwards, offering a chance to visit with our local veterans. (Visit Woodstock)
2. You can support your local child creatives by shopping at the Mini Maker's Market on Thursday! Head over to the Woodstock Library on Thursday to check out the arts and crafts on display and purchase some holiday gifts. If your child would like to participate as a vendor, please register by contacting the library at 770-926-5859.
