Good morning, Catonsville. I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Let's do this.

First, today's weather:

A shower and thunderstorm. High: 75 Low: 64.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Catonsville 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 today in Catonsville:

1. Yesterday, Jun. 10, AAA reported the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Maryland was up to $4.994, almost 22 cents more than a week ago. AAA reported that "Maryland is among the top 10 states in the country to experience the largest surge in gas price averages over the last week." In Baltimore, the average price of a gallon of regular gas was $5.001 yesterday. (Maryland Patch)
2. Cathy David of Catonsville picked her own strawberries at Larriland Farm on Jun. 8. The farm's pick-your-own fields include strawberries, sweet cherries, and sour cherries for this season. The farm opens its pick-your-own fields in late May and closes after the pick-your-own apple harvest in November. (Baltimore Sun)
3. On Saturday, Jun. 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the Free Book Fair will be held in the gymnasium of Bishop Cummins Reformed Episcopal Church, located at 2001 Frederick Road in Catonsville.
