From the Liver Mush Festival to Christmas If you’re a Cleveland County local, you know our calendar runs on a rhythm all its own. One minute, we’re gearing up for the Liver Mush Festival in Shelby, enjoying that unique local flavor, and the next, we’re stringing up thousands of twinkling lights for Christmas.

I’m talking about C & C Storage Center Inc. at 106 Royal Dr. This isn't just a faceless company; it's a local spot that understands our specific needs. They specialize in Non-Climate Self-Storage Options, which might sound intimidating given our humidity, but here’s the secret: with a little prep, it’s the most practical and affordable way to go.
