Fall events across the Sandhills: the United European Ballet's Cinderella at BPAC, the Scarecrow Stroll at the Sandhills Horticultural Gardens, downtown live music and fall dining, and the Moore County Agricultural Fair opening next week.

Fall is in full swing across the Sandhills, and there's plenty to get out and enjoy in Moore County this weekend. Here's a look at what's happening:

Cinderella Comes to the Stage at BPAC

If you're looking for a special night out, the United European Ballet brings Cinderella, set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev, to BPAC's Owens Auditorium in Pinehurst this weekend. There are two performances: Saturday, October 10 at 7:00 p.m., and a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. on October 11. It's a beautiful blend of classical ballet tradition and fairytale charm, and a wonderful way to enjoy the arts right here in the Sandhills. Owens Auditorium is located at 3395 Airport Road in Pinehurst.

Explore the Scarecrow Stroll

The Scarecrow Stroll at the Sandhills Horticultural Gardens in Pinehurst continues through the season, with creative scarecrows tucked throughout the gardens. This year's American Revolution theme adds a fun local twist, and it's a great outdoor activity for families, gardeners and anyone who loves a bit of fall creativity.

Live Music, Shopping and Fall Dining Downtown

As always, downtown Southern Pines and the Village of Pinehurst are full of reasons to get out this weekend, from live music and local breweries to boutique shopping and cozy fall dining. It's the perfect time of year for a walk down Broad Street or a ride around the Village.

Looking Ahead: The Moore County Agricultural Fair

The 79th annual Moore County Agricultural Fair opens Tuesday, October 13 at the Moore County Fairgrounds in Carthage, running through October 17. With rides, livestock, exhibits, games, fair food and live entertainment, it's a can't-miss tradition for the whole family. Mark your calendar!

For the most complete rundown of what's happening across The Pines, I always recommend checking The Pines Times, which keeps an updated list of local events all week long.

However you spend the weekend, I hope you enjoy all that Moore County has to offer. If you're thinking about buying or selling here, I'd love to help you find your place in the Sandhills.

Experience isn't expensive, it's priceless!
