News About Town: The Town of Matthews Parks and Rec is known throughout the area for fun-filled, affordable summer camps. This year the department has canceled all June camps but will resume most summer camps for July and August. Camp Funshine will not be offered this summer.

Your Mom’s Donuts pivoted like a champ, offering farm fresh products twice a week in their Matthews shop. The already-popular donut shop’s wild success necessitated a shop upgrade to handle increased business.
