News About Town: Matthews Parks and Rec has some new classes starting this fall. There will be tango lessons, and yes, it takes two, but you don’t have to have a partner to register. There's also the Art of Yoga, where you learn to apply yoga principals to your daily life. Don't miss Kids Ukulele and Adult Ukulele (separate classes), Total Body Strength & Tone, and more. There are also classes lined up for homeschoolers, including several courses working with clay, apparel design, and computer graphics. Find more info here.

News Around Town: On the theme of continued learning, the Levine campus of CPCC (2800 Campus Ridge Rd, Matthews) is expanding their weekend course offerings, this fall. High-demand classes will be offered more frequently on weekday evenings, Fridays, and Saturdays to meet student need.

One Fun Thing: This weekend is your last chance to get The Local Scoop in Matthews (until next summer? hint hint? The Local Scoop are you reading this?) Stop by Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (noon til nine each day) in their pop-up location behind Moe’s BBQ on Trade Street and get a scoop or three. They’ll have dutch chocolate, vanilla bean, strawberry sorbet with local strawberries, brownie batter and cookie monster at first, but will rotate as they sell out. The Local Scoop supports local farmers, so their batches are small. Whatever you get, it’s going to be good.
