Here are the top stories in Cartersville today:

1. No arrests have been made in the Saturday, September 3 clash of mostly teenage girls attending the Pioneer Days Festival at Sam Smith Park. Video taken of the incident shows roughly a dozen people, including one individual holding a baby, among a crowd of appalled festival attendees.

2. Using $1.5 million in Georgia DNR grant funds, Bartow County will erect nearly four miles of intermediate-level mountain biking trails at its Wilderness Camp Greenspace. These new trails will increase recreational possibilities for existing mountain bikers and prove a more challenging option for advanced riders. It will also allow beginners to gradually develop their skills and encourage others to explore mountain biking. (wbhfradio.org)
3. The Cartersville-Bartow County Tourism Council Inc. will soon be changing leadership after more than three decades with retiring executive director and founder, Ellen Archer. Steven Schumacher was selected as the sole finalist to succeed her. (Subscription: The Daily Tribune)
