Thanksgiving will keep most of us occupied this weekend, but if you’re looking to get out of the house, we’ve got a few ideas. On Thursday, you’ll find Turkey Trot races in Mooresville and Cornelius, and Summit Coffee in Davidson has live music two nights, including Jake Troth on Friday night. Saturday the Town of Cornelius starts a new tradition with a late-afternoon tree-lighting behind Town Hall.
Our Town Cinemas in Davidson has “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ as well as “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Skyfall,” and “Rise of the Guardians.” Check the showtimes at right on this page.
