News Around Town: Imagine it’s the year is 1915 and you’re invited to Dr. and Mrs. T. N. Reid's home for their annual Victorian Lawn Party. You can expect turn of the century entertainment, such as a Maypole Dance, dominoes, croquet, woodworking, basket making, beekeeping or paper quilling. No need for Doc and a Delores, the Matthews Heritage Museum is sponsoring the 5th Annual Lawn Party at the Reid House (134 W. John Street) from 12 to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 18, 2020. 

The event is FREE, though donations are suggested for certain activities. For more information contact the museum at 704-708-4996 or check out the website:  www.matthewsheritagemuseum.org or our Facebook page.

One Fun Thing: Stargazers of all ages, check out the moon tonight (Monday). It’s the final full moon of winter, and will appear to be slightly larger and brighter than other full moons. Known as a Super Worm Moon, thus particular full moon marks the time of year when earthworms begin to awaken from their winter slumber.
