Meet Quinn Gilgan: the 25-pound corgi who literally ran amok at Sunday’s Panthers game

When Sunday’s Carolina Panthers game reached halftime, 12 corgis took to the field to race. But after the race ended, one of the corgis – Quinn – was still on the run. Quinn is one year old, 25 pounds, and short-legged – even for a corgi – but she was a blur on the field as she fled from and dodged anyone who tried to grab or tackle her.

We Ranked 8 North Carolina Churches With Soaring Steeples And Stained Glass That Feel Straight Out Of Europe

My neck started hurting just reading about the first tower. It rises 210 feet above a North Carolina college campus, with a design inspired by Canterbury Cathedral in England. That was enough to send me down a very Gothic rabbit hole. Soon I was finding stained glass painted in Munich...

Opening chapter: Fort Mill businesswoman opens town's first bookstore

FORT MILL — Downtown Fort Mill is home to a mix of places to grab a bite to eat or find a gift for a friend. Lauren Randar decided it was time to turn the page and add a bookstore to the town’s growing list of offerings. She’s already local business owner, with her graphic design company, Tied & Two, operating there for six years. When an attorney’s office just off Main Street became available earlier in 2026, Randar moved the company there, but also saw an opportunity for a storefront business that Fort Mill has never had before. “I've always wanted to own a bookshop,” said Randar, 35, owner ...

Local man runs for 24 hours

It’s one thing to complete a marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K race — which all can be done in a span of minutes or hours — but a Mount Airy man has managed to run for an entire day. This occurred when Charles Hiatt took on the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge from Oct. 30-31 in Mint Hill, near Charlotte. Unlike some races with spread-out courses, the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge involves a 1.35-mile loop that participants run over and over — “and over again,” Hiatt stated with a note of humor. The local man, an employee of Eagle Carports in Mount Airy, started the event on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. and finished on 7 p.m. the next day to cap what organizers call “a festive, Halloween-themed test of endurance.” While the running career of the former two-pack-per-day smoker previously included completing three World Marathon Majors in Boston, Chicago and most recently Sydney, Australia, he was a bit leery about the late-October event. “Running for 24 hours straight was definitely my biggest challenge yet,” Hiatt acknowledged. A friend and fellow runner, Josh Seawell of Pinnacle, had invited him to participate in the Mint Hill event. “Against my
