🎵 Make Music Day

Happy Thursday!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Last week, we shared that White Duck Taco had opened up. Did anyone get a chance to swing by?

There’s a lot happening this week, so let’s get to it!

📸 Local Snapshots

🎵 Make Music Day

Chattanooga is hosting its biggest-ever Make Music Day celebration, featuring over 67 live music events across the city. On Saturday, June 21, you'll find free performances from local musicians all over the city in parks, public spaces, businesses, and neighborhoods.

The concerts are free and open to all ages. You can find the full performance schedule here.

💰️ Skyuka Hall Expands with $11.75M Purchase

Skyuka Hall, a K–12 school serving students with learning differences and ADHD, has purchased the former Precept Ministries property in East Brainerd for $11.75 million. The 38.5-acre campus will allow the school to expand from 120 to 250 students over the next five years.

Thanks to generous donors, the school will relocate to the new site by the 2026–2027 school year following renovations. The property includes multiple commercial buildings, a 250-seat auditorium, a broadcast center, and residential facilities.

Skyuka Hall leaders say the move is more than just a relocation; it’s a chance to double their impact in the community. The school still needs to raise $3.5 million to complete the transition.

🐶 Slobberbones Turns 2

Slobberbones Pet Bakery and Bath is marking its 2-year anniversary with a full weekend of fun from June 20 to 22. The community is invited to stop by for three days of celebration, treats, and appreciation.

The event will feature cookie decorating workshops, vendor and product spotlights with free samples, exciting giveaways, and exclusive Slobberbones swag. The first customers each day will receive gift cards, and free treats will be available for your four-legged companions.

If you’re free, come by and celebrate this local business!
