Downtown Director David Day said recently that, “Cherryville’s Main Street will come alive on third Thursdays of the summer and fall months with food trucks, live music, and special shopping deals.”

When pressed for a date, Mr. Day noted, “The first (Third Thursday) event will be Thursday, June 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. That evening, in the Mini Park, the featured food trucks, wine and beer garden and music will be by Gary and Wyatt. Main Street merchants will be open and offering special deals. There will be a special food truck, Lake Side, featuring Lobster.”

Day continued, “We want to make Main Street a summer evening destination for our citizens. In addition to the food, music, and shopping deals, residents can enjoy the ever-improving amenities of the Mini Park.”

Some of the downtown merchants at whose establishments one can shop, said David, are Annalise, Art by Sherry, Carpenters Gifts, Home Folks’ Café, Houser Drug, IW-Med Spa, McGinnis Furniture, Niney’s, Print 3-D, Rita Rae’s, and Victoria Cole, said Day. Mr. Day continued, “We’re working on new and more seating for our summer events. Plus, we now have free WiFi in the Mini Park. Our new living art wall is beginning to grow and will make a beautiful natural art piece for the Mini Park.”

Also, Day noted there is to be an antique car show in the North Alley.
