OK, the best part of having my birthday in May is that I can claim one concert as my Mother's day present and one as my birthday present.

This is important because the excellent metal bands tend to come here in May.

It's always so much fun to talk about the exciting HAPPENINGS in Downtown Mooresville. Recently we hosted representatives from across the state who work in and are passionate about downtown development and boy, did Downtown Mooresville have a lot of exciting information to share!  From upcoming park renovations and a new taphouse (in an old bank), to freshly renovated buildings and upper floor residential units now being offered; overall things continue to move in a positive direction!  The Mooresville Downtown Commission is also excited to announce a new business opening July 6 called Nailed It DIY! Nailed It DIY Studio Mooresville will be located at 248 N. Main Street and is the first national franchise of the original Nailed It DIY Studios in Fort Mill and Rock Hill, SC. Mooresville owner, Melinda Dutcher, has lived in the Lake Norman area for the past 10+ years with her husband, Bob Kinser, owner of Zen Massage Mooresville and Zen Massage Charleston. Nailed It DIY Studio Mooresville offers a wide variety of fun do-it-yourself experiences where you can create your very own custom project.  Most projects are solid wood signs with plank, stacked or framed options in a range of sizes and designs using all organic paints, stains and waxes. Other projects include, but are not limited to, serving trays, lazy susans, bottle openers, trophy shelves, custom photo prints and recipe holders. Building, sanding, designing, painting, waxing... you do it all at Nailed It! Unique to the Nailed It concept, walk-in open studio hours will be offered beginning July 6 every Wednesday – Saturday. Private parties, kids’ birthdays, team building, bachelorette parties, date night, mommy & me time and corporate events can be reserved online at Nailed It DIY or by calling the studio at 704.402.4612. Mini summer camps will be offered in August (details will be posted soon on the website) with a full array of summer camps available in 2019. Nailed It DIY studio will feature two locally inspired projects highlighting Mooresville and Lake Norman to celebrate their official opening. These special projects will be available to all customers who stop in on July 6 or July 7 to join in opening festivities. July 6 hours are 12pm-8pm and July 7 hours are 10am-5pm. A community grand opening will be held on August 11 leading into the monthly Festival of Food Truck event. Nailed It DIY Studio Mooresville is excited to be a part of a growing and thriving downtown district, and Melinda and team look forward to meeting each of you!

We’d also like to offer an anniversary shout out to Mooresville Service Center who celebrated 10 years in Downtown Mooresville on June 18. Owners Rick and Vicki Schmidt moved to the Mooresville area from Southern Maryland with the intention of starting their own automotive service center. Rick is an ASE Certified technician and has almost two decades experience working as a Senior Master Tech with Ford Motor Company.  Though it took a little time to find their initial location; they opened in June of 2008 in the old Mooresville Ford building on Broad Street in Downtown Mooresville. With the growth and success of the business, Mooresville Service Center purchased a building several years ago and is now located at 372 N. Main Street. Mooresville Service Center takes pride in offering honest, professional service, at a fair price, in a timely manner. Vicki states “we have really enjoyed being a business and supporter of the downtown area and love all the positive changes we've seen happen in the 10 years we've been in business. We have serviced a lot of locals and newcomers alike, a very large amount since the day we opened.” Thank you, Rick & Vicki & congratulations, again! Mooresville Service Center can be reached at 704-662-0311 Downtown Mooresville, the heart of a Happening community since 1873!  All the best,

Kim Atkins Executive Director - Mooresville Downtown Commission
