UA Thrift is located in front of Kate's Skating Rink on Lafayette Street jus down the road from Christ the King Church. This business is a thrift store that has been open for several years. You never know what you will find in here. You'll find lesser quality of items in here than you will at upscale thrift stores, such as Goodwill. But I like this place a lot because they give all their profits to area non-profit organizations like the Women's Shelter and the Humane Society. Every time I shop there I know I am helping others. You'll always find a lot of sales here. Some times it's shoes; sometimes it's clothes; Etc. I love going here for used items. They have knick-knacks as well. The price is just right, with many items being really cheap.

Genesis Gospel Music is not just for music. They have a wide selection of books and other things "Christian-related." I love going there. They are located near Philann's Florist. I feel great when I shop there: no pushy sales people, always plenty of smiles and pleasantries. I simply feel patronizing there is great because it's a hometown, homeowned and operated business. I am giving this place (Genesis Gospel Music) five stars because it doesn't get any better than this. Give them a shot!

More
Cleveland County Fair comes from the Cleveland County Fair Association. Actually, I am not really sure what makes up the actual association for the fair, but I can tell you that the Cleveland County Fair has the largest of all attendance in a North Carolina fair. The exhibits, however, are really bad. Their numbers dwindled this year, except the photography one. That was the one they wanted to go down. They changed the rules on it, but it still didn't work because they didn't go by their own rules and because if they did, their rules were strange. Anyway, the fair association does a pretty good job but I wish they would not raise so the cost of getting in. Paying $7 just to get in is ridiculous. This review was done in 2005, and parts were now updated.

More
One of the few churches I recommend in the Shelby area, Christopher Road Baptist Church is a great church to go to. They do a lot for the community as well for their members and regular church-goers. They have an annual yard sale, and I love going to it. They always have so many items, and all the money goes directly to the church. The parking is good, and it is easy to find a parking space no matter when you arrive. The church itself is not that hard to find, but it is inconvenient for me. It is not in a convenient location, but for the residents in that immediate area, it does work for them. Sermons are good here, and I like going there. Recommended!

Cleveland Rutherford Kidney Association is located in Shelby for both counties. Their main funcation is to educate the community regarding kidney disease and dialysis, and so on. They have a ton of information for you if the need arises. They have books, brochures, pamphets, folders, and so on that will help you in whatever way you need help. They are also friendly and helpful and will provide you with the tools necessary for whatever you need or looking for. I would suggest you keep their number handy in case you ever need them. They do a lot for awareness, and I think they are great.

Dial A Prayer is an awesome service. It goes like this. You call a special number and a recorded devotional is said to you. It is changed each day. It is a great service because you can call from anywhere. You don't have to live in Shelby to do that. In addition, I think the devotions are wonderful. They are full of life and invigorating to me. I love calling it each day. It is not tied to a particular church. It is sponsored by one person who does it on behalf of a church, but religion is not preached. It is simply a devotional ... something to think about!

The Council on Aging is a great organization. They are located in the Senior Citizen Center building, and they do a lot for the elderly in the community. I have been impressed with them for quite some time. They run the Senior Citizen Center, and they are great. They do a lot of activities for the elderly such as commodities for them outings for them, and so much more. They also have a wealth of information such as law, insurance, and the like. I recommend your going and seeing them. Recommended because without them, many seniors in the community would be lost.

More
Cleveland County Humane Society Shelter is a great non-profit organization. They are good for the community, its people and pets. They help people with their pets, showing the correct ways to care for their pets. They also rescue and adopty pets. They stress neutering and spaying. They are really good, except they don't accept all pets due to lack of room. They do accept your cash donations, and they accept donations of non-cash from a very short list (it's very specific). Recommended at four stars.

Every time, I've brought my family to this library the past 5 years, the volunteers have always been gracious and patient. I am a home-school mother, and the staff will help me to locate books or tapes, never making me feel that I'm bothering them. If this library didn't have what I'm looking for, they make sure to help me get it! As I consider starting my own business, now that the kids are grown, you can be sure, that I'll go to the library for help and research! MJF

The only reason I am not giving the City of Shelby, North Carolina, five stars is because it is always open to improvement. I believe one should be in where they live, or they shouldn't be living here, no matter what the circumstances. It is nice to be able to live in such a small town such as Shelby. Many famous people were born and raised here, and I am always amazed when I learn of someone else. Shelby has many unique things to offer, and all I can say is visit for yourself and talk with the people.
