Mr. Joe Haick has not printed a job for me that we contracted for almost a year and a half ago. He…read morehas promised with every excuse that he would print my panels but never followed up on his promises. I even offered to pay him more for the printing than the money I paid which he asked for. He defrauded me of my panels worth $500.00, which I had custom made here in FL and sent to him. Due to the distance, as Cat Studios is no longer in Palm Beach County, FL, where I live, and he moved to NC, it doesn't pay me to pursue a legal procedure. At this point I just wanted my panels returned, unprinted. This is a clear fraudulent case and that is why I have contacted the local Police, and Better Business Bureau in Charlotte. With all his promises in all of our documented emails, this has been a most traumatic experience for me doing business with Cat Studios and Joe Haick.

We used Trackview Hall for our Class of 2022 Veterinary Technician Pinning Ceremony. We had about…read more~130 guests attend. We brought our own dessert and drinks, and set up simple decorations. The venue director was super easy to get into contact with, answered any and all questions, allowed for us to tour before booking, and was in general super pleasant and easy going. We really enjoyed using Trackview Hall as our venue, and as I am now a graduate of the vet tech program, I hope that future classes choose to use Trackview as their pinning ceremony venue of choice. On top of everything, the venue was also extremely affordable for the quality and ease of booking. Huge thank you to Trackview for making our event special!

The Don Gibson Mural is located in Downtown Shelby on the side of Miss Molly's Boutique which…read morehappens to be the former residence of where Gibson's wife lived at one point. It is one of the murals painted by the talented Scott Nurkin who makes these musicians come alive in his North Carolina Musicians Mural Trails. I've seen about a third of the current murals as I am sure there will be more. They are all so unique and pay tribute to the person. This mural currently looks a little different than it did as I didn't see the song words in white paint while there but in my photos they are faint. It may have just been how the sun was hitting it that time of day. Gibson was a banjo player; bluegrass and country music star. His songs have been recorded by others so live on. He became a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Recently attended the opening soiree for the 12th Annual Art of Sound Festival. It was incredibly…read moreprofessional and well done. The Frank Love Orchestra played two great sets of Big Band Music: Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey. NiFen provided the catering with treats from spanakopita to pan fried dumplings.

Great to have such a cultural event in a small town like Shelby.

My kids have been here for a couple of Birthday Parties and have loved this place…read more Signature is a cozy studio right on Lafayette Street. Not only do they offer Birthday Parties, but also Adult Paint Parties, Art Classes and Open Studio times. We came her this past Saturday to have the kids make paintings for Mother's Day. Small canvases are $10 and the larger ones are $15. Your kids can pick pretty much subject matter and the owner will find a picture/image online that they would like to paint. At that point you can paint it from scratch or she will pencil draw an outline using a projector. Pretty cool place and concept. All the paints, brushes, aprons and instruction are included in the cost. Fun place to get messy and creative. Not sure if they do Paint and Sips or not - if they do, count me in!

From the start, Donnie was an absolute joy to work with. His communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and it was clear how much care he and Nicole put into the venue. They've created something truly special and continue to make thoughtful improvements and add features that elevate the experience for couples. The space itself is beautiful and incredibly functional. We loved the separate areas for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready--it made the day feel relaxed and seamless. One of our favorite touches was being allowed to bury bourbon on the property a month before the wedding as a Southern tradition for good weather. Despite a rainy forecast all week, the tradition worked its magic and our wedding day turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn't imagine a better place to get married or better people to work with.

The venue alone was perfect as there were multiple locations to choose from and we had a designated space for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The ability to use the space the day before was so helpful and Donnie and Nicole provided so many resources in-house that you wouldn't even think of (ice, toiletries, extra tables etc.). The look of the barn makes it so easy to decorate as the space alone is a neutral color and the landscape is beautiful! This property is managed and kept so well. Our pictures were perfect as there were so many photo-worthy spots. We cannot thank The Barn at Blue Sky enough for making our wedding spectacular! If you want a venue that is beautiful and is taken care of to the best quality, choose The Barn at Blue Sky Farm!
