Morning, neighbors! I'm back in your inbox this morning with your new copy of the Cincinnati Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town today.

First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m. High: 88 Low: 67.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Cincinnati who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Cincinnati Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories in Cincinnati today:

  1. USA Today's 2022 10Best Readers' Choice poll just named the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden as the best zoo in the U.S.! The zoo's botanical garden took home the second-place spot in the Best Botanical Garden category, ceding first place to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida. (WHIO)
  2. This past Saturday saw hundreds of rallies advocating for gun safety across the country. As part of National Gun Violence Awareness Day, which was on Jun. 3 this year, over a hundred people gathered at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati to call for an end to gun violence. The rally included speeches from gun violence survivors, elected officials, faith leaders, and law enforcement. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
  3. In celebration of what would have been Judy Garland's 100th birthday, the "Wizard of Oz" is returning to select theaters across the country. According to Fathom Events, these exclusive showings on Jun. 5 and Jun. 6 will feature a rarely seen musical number. There will be a few showings across the Greater Cincinnati area, and you can visit this link to get more information and ticket prices. (WLWT Cincinnati)
