Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:

1. The State of Ohio Auditor's office visited Lakewood and attended a meeting of the City Council. Lakewood received the Auditor of State Award with Distinction for the third consecutive year. To achieve this status, the entity must have a perfectly clean audit that is filed accurately and on time, conforming to all government accounting guidelines. Less than five percent of the entities audited by the state achieve this status. (Lakewood Observer)
2. On Oct. 19, Mary Manning, coordinator of the Ohio District 3 contest at the Western Reserve Historical Society, will visit Lakewood Public Library to explain the National History Day competition. It is open to students of all schools from grades six to 12. View the link for more information. (Lakewood Observer)
3. Now through Nov. 6, visit "The Cultural Heritage Exhibition & Experience" at Beck Center for the Arts. Located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood. (The News-Herald)

Patch deal of the day:

Wine lover alert. We found this amazing deal from Splash Wines — an 18-bottle curated selection of reds and whites for fall — for just $69.99. Shipping isn't cheap at $39.95, but that still comes out to just over $6 per bottle. Splash Wines has a money-back guarantee if you don't like the wine and 4.6 out of 5 rating on TrustPilot. So: recommended.
