Good morning, Decatur.

DeKalb County is partnering with St. Vincent de Paul to renovate a 10,000 sqft space on Chamblee Tucker Road for a new North DeKalb Day Center opening in November.

The facility will provide daytime services from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays plus limited Saturday hours.

The contest highlights top baggers from Georgia competing for bagging rights.
