Southern Pines Carriage Parade

December 10th is one of the Southern Pines premier holiday events!  This is my personal favorite.  The Carriage Parade is presented by the Moore County Driving Club.  This group brings their decorated horses and carriages through the historic downtown of Southern Pines.  You feel as though you have stepped into a Currier and Ives postcard!  Truly beautiful.

Horses will make the loop of  NW Broad and NE Broad. And of course, Santa will bring his carriage!

The event begins at 1:00.  You will want to bring your camera.  Don't be late you won't want to miss a single minute!

Blessing of the Hounds 2016

The Blessing of the Hounds in Southern Pines, North Carolina is a Thanksgiving Tradition.  The Moore County Hounds have been in existence for more than 100 years and share this spectacular event with us!  In 2014 the Blessing of the Hounds moved from their long held location at Hobby Field to Buchan Field located on North May Street.

While the event takes place from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. the tailgating begins much earlier!  Come and pick your spot and witness the tradition of riders in their formal hunting attire, the blessing which is performed by Emmanuel Episcopal Church and then  the hunt!

This is a wonderful way to start your Thanksgiving morning!  It will be an event your family and friends will talk about for years to come!

Breakfast in Aberdeen, North Carolina

Breakfast on the run is easy to do today.  You see endless cars waiting in line at drive thru windows all over the country.  Often the indigestion will follow you through the day!

If you are looking for a great breakfast near Aberdeen, North Carolina looking for a quick homemade breakfast Steak or Eggs is your place.  You only need to visit a couple of times to feel like family.  You will find the same people, often at the same table each morning.  Wait staff makes you feel welcome, they know how you take your coffee the same way they know how their own mother's take their coffee and make you feel right at home.

Nothing fancy, just great breakfast.  Pancakes, french toast, omelets, eggs... done right!  If you are not an early riser don't fret, they are also open for lunch.

Steak or Eggs has been around forever!  They used to be located where the current CVS is but have moved just up the road and across the street.  You can find them at 1850 US 1 South in Aberdeen right next to Enterprise Car Rental.  It's easy to find, just look for the front door!

Thank You to Our Veterans!

Thank you to all who have served!  This country would not be what it is today without each and every one of you!  My favorite t-shirt is one worn by a client of ours!  I believe that to join the military is one of the most selfless acts a person could possibly do.

Here in Southern Pines we will celebrate our veterans with a parade.  The parade begins at 10 a.m.  Please come out and show your appreciation!

While many businesses offer military discounts every day, you will find a lot being offered today, Veterans Day.  Check out this list on USA Today.

  

Thank you for your service!
