Good morning, High Point.

WFMY News 2's Manning Franks said FolkFest will boost the local economy by drawing visitors to local shops and restaurants this weekend.

Organizers expect higher sales and more tourism to help area businesses.

High Point University held the grand opening for its new dental school today—making it only the second school in the state with a dental program, joining UNC Chapel Hill.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services ordered Valleygate Dental Surgery Center in Greensboro to close several newly built procedure rooms after the facility added three rooms in July without proper permit filings — inspectors noted 23 safety issues including electrical, HVAC, fire, and emergency call problems, and a 2-year-old died on July 17 following a procedure.

Ramsey Caudle helped design the Carolina Core soccer team's brand and said the logo features a fox, colors, and patterns that represent the local communities—showing the Piedmont Triad's natural beauty and growth.

The design took months of collaborative work from a team led by graphic designer Matthew Wolff.

The Greensboro Grasshoppers lost 4-3 to the Brooklyn Cyclones in the first playoff game on September 9 at First National Bank Field—Brooklyn had more hits and outplayed Greensboro.

They will try to even the series in Game 2 on Thursday, September 11 in Brooklyn.
