Downtown Statesville was packed as people turned out in large numbers as Kids in America — Totally 80s Tribute Band kicked off the 2024 Piedmont HealthCare Friday After Five concert series. Attendees enjoyed several food trucks as well as tents with beer, wine and spirits. Ice cream kept everyone cool for dessert.
