What an AMAZING day at the first annual PACE (Piedmont Arts and Cultural Experience) in downtown Mount Holly! ☀️🎨🛍️

The MHCDF had the best time seeing our community out and about enjoying all that our beautiful downtown has to offer. From smiling faces walking the streets, to talking with visitors about what we do and how to get involved, the day was truly special! We also loved participating in the Hats on The Streets art exhibit and selling PACE t-shirts and tote bags throughout the event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, support, and celebrate this incredible day with us. What a beautiful day it was for PACE and for our community!!
