Sprouts Job Fair + Samurai Ramen +Halestorm's Tour

Howdy, folks!

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Duluth Daily Digest, where you can find all you need to know about happenings and news from around town!

In this issue you will read about a new local ramen shop, Halestorm's Duluth stop, and a Sprouts job fair in Buford.

But first, the weather:

There will be a high of 82 and a low of 65, with the possibility of more scattered thunderstorms throughout the day.

Here's the local news:

1) There is a new ramen shop coming to town! Samurai Ramen is promising to bring all natural ramen to Duluth this summer. They claim to make their ramen with no added dairy or MSG. (Atlanta Eater)

2) Grammy Award-winning group, Halestorm, has announced the second half of its stops for their 2021 tour. Their most local stop will be at Duluth's own Gas South Arena. Tickets are being sold on Ticketmaster. (The Music Universe)

3) The COVID-19 pandemic has brought along one of the highest unemployment rates our area has seen in quite a few years. To help solve this issue, Sprouts is conducting phone interviews at its nearby Buford location. They have a total of 100 positions open. (Patch)

4) After a year of hybrid learning, Gwinnett County Public Schools are seeing its highest ever surge of students and teachers participating in summer school. 32,000 students across the district are currently taking classes to get caught up for the upcoming school year. This effort could not have been done without the efforts of local teachers and parents who see the importance of education. (AJC)

5) Tropical Storm Claudette made landfall this past weekend, making the area dark and gloomy for the past few days. One local duplex was affected by lightning hitting a powerline connected to the home and causing a house fire. No injuries were reported after the 10-minute fire, but there was significant damage to the house. (Patch)

Looking for something to do? Here are some local events:

1) Christian Beginnings Preschool & Kindergarten Drive-Thru BBQ Dinner Fundraiser- Duluth UMC is hosting a BBQ fundraiser. The cost is $7 per person, and all proceeds will go to the children's program at the church. 5 p.m.

4) Gwinnett Chapter Meeting- Come out to the Hudgens Art Center for the Gwinnett Nature Photographers Association's first meeting in a year at 7 p.m.

That's all for today, folks! I will see you back here tomorrow for the day's local news and events.

My name is Lyndsay Oxley, and I have lived in the District at Duluth for about three years now. If you recognize my name and face, it is probably because you've seen me around Parson's Alley at Good Word Brewing. I am there every weekend serving tables, while during the week I am an ESOL teacher at Radloff Middle School. I love Duluth's everything from the diversity, great food and drinks, and the warming culture. I hope that I can continue to keep you reading every day, and if you enjoy reading
