Good morning, Huntersville.

Local residents can enjoy a full week of events in Huntersville and nearby areas, starting with Tuesday’s fitness class at Be Well Birkdale (6–7 p.m., running through Oct.

22) and including farmers markets, trivia nights, live music, and family-friendly activities such as Christmas in July at Lost Worlds Brewing—ticketed and free options are available across venues in Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson. This calendar offers a variety of community gatherings that cater to different interests and schedules.

Attorney General Jeff Jackson and attorneys general from 24 states filed a lawsuit against the federal government to stop the Department of Education from withholding funds approved by Congress that would cost North Carolina over $165M and risk nearly 1,000 teacher jobs—rural schools rely on this funding for teacher wages and after-school programs.

A new state law that went into effect on July 1 now allows homeowners in Mecklenburg County to rent their residential pools, and public health officials say owners must follow safety guidelines such as water testing, proper signage, and life-saving equipment + secure pool areas.

Huntersville residents may soon enjoy pool rentals while pool owners must ensure strict safety standards are met.
