Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. In an effort to help area children who are grieving, Carolina Caring will be offering Brighter Days Fall Camp for youth ages eight through 16 who have lost someone close to them. According to the Mooresville Tribune, the camp will be held on October 6 from 4-7 p.m. at Keystone Overlook, located on the nonprofit’s campus at 3975 Robinson Road in Newton.
   In this free, outdoor camp, grieving children will be invited to connect with nature and the changing seasons. This approach is designed to help them understand the concept of death and allow them to process the complex emotions they may be experiencing. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. To register, email wspurling@carolinacaring.org or call 828-466-0466, ext. 3201. (Mooresville Tribune)

   Here's a list of the five most recent homes to go up for sale in the Mooresville area — including a house in the Troutman area with 3 beds and 2 baths for $407,900, and another with 3 beds and 3 baths for $945,000. (Mooresville Patch)
3. WSOC reported that, "Mooresville-based Pink Energy appears to have closed its “doors completely and permanently,” according to a letter to employees published by an Indiana television station. The company had laid off 1,100 employees, about half of its workforce, since May. Those layoffs followed a raft of complaints about its solar installations that company CEO Jayson Waller blamed on a defective operating system provided by partner Generac Holdings Inc. Pink Energy, formerly known as PowerHome Solar, has sued Generac over the alleged failures in federal court." (WSOC Charlotte)
