Davidson Weekend CalendarYou’ll have a choice of music, theater, film and more this weekend in and around Davidson. On Friday, Mooresville’s Music on Main outdoor concern series continues with The Stranger, a Billy Joel tribute band. Cornelius-based band Velcrows plays at Summit Coffee, while the Rusty Knox Band is at The Brickhouse Tavern Friday. A trio of stage productions are on tap this weekend: “Noises Off,” “Fast Trip to Omaha” and “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Our Town Cinemas in Davidson opens one new movie, “Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore.” Also, the last in a series of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools community forums is tonight in Charlotte, giving parents and residents a chance to comment on possible organizational changes and closings that could affect local schools, including Davidson IB Middle School.

Baseball fans can catch some great post-season games at McEver Fields on South Street beginning Friday as the local Davidson-Cornelius all-star team hosts the PONY Bronco division (age 12) East Zone tournament.
