Today is Friday, Oct. 22 and here are five things to know in Montgomery County.
1. Small Business Town Hall: The series of biweekly town halls to keep businesses informed continues today from noon-1 p.m. Judy Costello, a special projects manager for the County Executive will be joined by Kelly Groff, Cory Van Horn, both from the county’s tourism bureau, Visit Montgomery to discuss promoting tourism and hospitality in the county.

2. MyMCMedia’s Friday Night Lights Game of the Week features a battle between two undefeated football teams: 7-0 Quince Orchard vs 7-0 Northwest at 4:30 pm. Both teams are ranked in The Washington Post’s top 20 teams for the area. Follow @TravisDC95 on Twitter for live scoring updates. The police and public schools announced Wednesday there would be added precautions in place and the game would occur two hours earlier. Numerous student fights at Seneca Valley during the Oct. 15 game against Northwest resulted in officials ending the game early.
Friday’s matchup will not only showcase the top two high school football teams in Montgomery County, but also two teams in the @washingtonpost High School Football Top 20 with #8 @QO_FOOTBALL traveling to #9 @NWHSfootball. 🏉🏉🏈🏈 @mymcmedia
