Here are the top 3 stories in Catonsville today:

1. The first Winter Wednesday Farmers Market is coming to Catonsville's Christian Temple from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. today. The market accepts cash, SNAP, credit, and debit and will feature nearly a dozen local vendors selling fresh produce, specialty food products, flowers, and more. If you can't make today's Market, you can catch a future event every other Wednesday through the end of April. (Catonsville Patch)
2. Baltimore County is hosting four more COVID-19 vaccine clinics in the greater Baltimore area this week. The County has multiple locations for residents to receive their vaccine or booster shot, including White Marsh Mall in Baltimore, Sollers Point Multipurpose Center in Dundalk, and Lansdowne Elementary in Baltimore. Appointments can be made at baltimorecountymd.gov/covid-19/vaccines. (Baltimore County Government)
3. More and more Baltimore County schools are opting to go virtual as the omicron variant surges, but Baltimore City is pushing to keep its classrooms open for in-person learning. Across the County, a total of 28 schools have gone fully or partially remote due to staffing shortages and a growing number of positive COVID tests and quarantines. Although city schools are implementing increased testing protocols, teachers union representatives indicated that staffing shortages and caseloads may rise to a point where "schools will not be able to safely stay open."
