Here are the top stories in Cumming today:

  1. Santa is coming to the farm. 3 Oaks Farm that is. From 4-8 p.m. on Dec. 6 and 13, 3 Oaks Farm is hosting Santa on the Farm. It's $22.50 per car which includes an ornament to decorate, a letter to write to Santa, a hay ride, and a visit with Santa. Black Market BBQ will also be serving dinner. S'mores kits and hot chocolate will be available as well. (Patch)
  2. Two finalists have been announced for Forsyth County manager position following the departure of County Manager Kevin Tanner. The candidates are Assistant County Managers Brandon Kenney and David McKee. The County Manager Office's mission is to manage day-to-day operations of the county on behalf of the Chairman and Board of Commissioners and to ensure that tax dollars are spent and accounted for in a responsible manner. No final vote or action on this appointment will occur until at least Dec. 8. (Forsyth County Government)
  3. Take a bow! Theater students at Lambert High School won the state championship last Saturday after performing in the Region 7A State One Act competition. The cast "stole the show" with their production of "Tuck Everlasting." Lambert also competed in the State One Act in 2012 and placed first with "Fiddler on the Roof" in 2018 and with "She Loves Me" in 2019. (Subscription: Forsyth County News)

About me: I've lived in Cumming since 2010. I'm married with two kids, both in Forsyth County Schools. I consider myself a jack of all trades. I love solid news reporting, scoring baseball games, playing golf, watching movies, reading books, doing crossword puzzles, listening to music, competing in fantasy leagues, commissioning said fantasy leagues, playing poker, trying new foods, traveling, and hanging with friends and family. I appreciate you stopping by.
