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

1. Did you know that you can register your garden as an official pollinator garden? If your garden hosts pollinator visitors like bees, moths and butterflies, you can sign up for certification and a nice sign for your garden. Head over to Woodstock Parks and Rec to fill out the application. (Woodstock Parks and Rec)
2. If you love coloring or know someone that does, you can download a coloring book for free on the Cherokee Office of Economic Development website. The "Cherokee by Choice" coloring book is 28 pages of local landmarks that you can color on your own as you learn more about the county. Some of the locations included are the Cherokee Aquatic Center, Gibbs Gardens and The Circuit. (Cherokee Office of Economic Development)
3. Cherokee Youth Basketball is still accepting "Skill Set Academy" registration. Former NBA players will help you improve your skills. The camp for kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade will take place at The Hickory Flat Gym at 4835 Hickory Road starting on September 20. (Cherokee Recreation and Parks via Facebook)
