Have been planning this for months, and of course, the forecast this weekend is rain all 3 days :). Any experts in the area (we are staying near mooresville) have any good rainy day activities for a group of a bunch of 30 something’s?
Hey everyone,I’m planning a boating trip next weekend on Lake Norman and wanted to get some insight into how strict the authorities are about drinking while boating. I’ve heard mixed things, and I’m curious if they’re actively looking to bust people for it.
Disclaimer: We do have a sober driver lined up, so safety is our top priority. Just trying to get a sense of how closely they’re monitoring this sort of thing out there .Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Nerdy types who know things are very much needed to help round out our small but scrappy pub trivia team.
Game is every Tuesday night at 8 in Huntersville.
It's a general knowledge game, and we're sorely lacking in subject matter experts on Disney and other cartoons, video games, pro wrestling, golf, and alcoholic drinks. Expertise in any topic is welcome, but those are frequently asked categories that we struggle with.
To sweeten the pot for anyone who is interested, I have a gift card good for $50 in food and drink at the venue where the game is held. I'm happy to give it to the first person to give me a firm commitment.
Drop me a line at nationreader@gmail.com for details!

We live right outside LKN, and for the past 2 weeks have been bombarded with insanely persistent door-to-door pest control salesman. This particular guy I didn't open the door for, but got pictures/video of him on my doorbell camera. Can anyone tell by his uniform or what he's wearing/carrying which company he may be with? They're so pushy. Anyhow, be on the lookout and thanks in advance.
Anyone know the specific days of firework events that can be seen from a boat on the lake? Not sure what night Queens landing may be doing a show, or if anyone knows of any others on the northern part of the lake. thanks!
Hello everyone!
I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local North Carolina family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.
This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal North Carolina family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

Hello Reddit! I recently opened up a health and wellness business about in Mooresville and I am looking for events to help promote my business. I am also looking for networking opportunities in the area.
I mostly do targeted cryotherapy treatments to help people with injuries or that just need a recharge before their next event. It is a lifesaver if you are interested, but I am not here to sell (at least right now). But if anyone is interested PM me or visit our website www.TLUrecovery.com
Hello! I am a high school junior and I am a part of the AP Research class as the second portion of the AP Capstone diploma. As you may know, in this class students are required to pick any topic that has limited research and create a research plan and eventually execute it.
For my research project, I chose to study materialism among North Carolina residents. I would really appreciate it if you would fill out this short ANONYMOUS survey!!
Once again, this survey is completely anonymous and your individual information will not be shared with any public sources.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Looking to eat a bit better than cheap frozen dinners or junk food but I hate cooking and I'm terrible at it. Furthermore meal delivery services are expensive. Google found me Lakeside Meal Prep but it seems pretty sketch, order button leads to a dead URL and the lack of information I can find about them seems like it's a dead/fake business. Would love to find something like a local kitchen where I can pick up pre-prepped meals for a week.

Hey Lake Norman gang. I am considering relocation to the Lake Norman area and based on what I can see in real estate prices Sherries Ford is much more affordable than other cities. What is the vibe in Sherries Ford? Is it a good place for families?
I know this sub is basically dead but I recently moved to the area and hoping to revive the sub.
Just took a short hike in Lake Norman State Park and really enjoyed it. Moved from Texas where any “hike” was just a paved trail through a couple trees. It was so wonderful being in nature again.
So, when it’s getting colder what are some of y’all’s favorite things to do in the area? Doesn’t have to be just outdoors!
Any suggestions for watching fireworks by boat? Thinking of queens landing.
Do people just anchor out in the main channel or raft up?
I'm coming in from out of state and would like to rent a sailboat while I'm near Lake Norman. I've been searching the internet and called all of the sailing/yacht clubs on Lake Norman. They only seem to let members use their boats. Does anyone know of any Sailboat rentals on the lake for people not involved in any of the local sailing communities?
