Through generous local support The Carolina Philharmonic has provided empowering multi-media music education to over 14,000 Moore County kids with programs that stimulate their cognitive skills, while presenting over seventy concerts, seating thousands of guests annually.

t’s Saturday night, and you need a falafel. You just moved to town, and you need recommendations for a plumber, and fast. It’s two months before your best friend’s wedding, and you need to get back in the gym — yesterday. Where do you eat? Who do you call? Which gym do you hit? We hear you. We see you. And, once again, we’ve put the answers to these very important questions at your finge tips. Decided by popular vote, they make up our 2019 Best of the Pines awards. The Pilot’s annual Best of the Pines contest has grown and evolved right along with our supportive small business community. This year we added more categories, simplified the online ballo , and made it easier for businesses to encourage their fans to vote. In turn, the community made this year one for the record books. The summer-long campaign began with a Kickoff arty and Voter’s Rally in May. Write-in nominations were open for four weeks, and the top eight nominees in 166 categories made it on the ballot in June. After four weeks of voting, we were blown away by over 18,000 voters and a total of more than 227,000 votes cast across all categories. The Pilot, a small, locally owned business itself, thanks you for your engagement in our favorite contest of the year. This magazine (a new format) puts the final stamp on our 2019 eaders’ choice season. But you can bet we’re already working hard behind the scenes to improve the contest for 2020. Over the next year, we hope you are able to use this magazine to find a new pla e to eat, a service provider to help you out in a pinch, and ways to celebrate your favorite places, events, teachers, and first esponders. We hope you enjoy the results, this magazine, and life in The Pines as much as we do. Best of the Pines 2019 | 23

New to Pure Barre?

Each 50 minute class is low impact, high intensity, total body workout. We work each muscle group to fatigue then stretch them back out to create a long lean body. Our studio environment fosters a strong sense of community, welcoming clients of all sizes and fitness backgrounds to empower one another. No dance experience required - if you can hold onto a ballet barre, you can do Pure Barre! Join us September 22 for our Open House and November 3 & 4 for our Reopening Celebration. Complimentary classes, raffles and more.

The Best Selection from

THE FINEST POTTERS IN THE POTTERY STATE Chuck Helbling 910.315.4501 | Paul Blake 910.315.7044 Paul Blake (right) and Chuck Helbling (left) began assisting local families through the challenging process of estate liquidation in 1982. Now, Paul Blake & Associates is the local leader in estate sales, hosting more than 50 each year in the Moore County area. As a licensed funeral director, Chuck has the unique ability to guide families in a professional and caring matter every step of the way. Coupled with Paul’s expertise on antiques, jewelry and collectibles, the two make a dynamic duo who take all the workload and stress associated with downsizing off your shoulders.

Their management includes home consultation, evaluation of belongings, staging and pricing, and a two-day on-site sale (unless more time is needed). Paul and Chuck’s marketing strategy for their weekly estate sales guarantees results, as does their ties to antique buyers ready to add to their collection. Area residents decided their top-notch service was worthy of a Best of the Pines award in 2017. On the rare occasion Paul and Chuck aren’t working to help a local family, you can find them vacationing at a second home in Banner Elk. Their No. 1 apprentice, Rascal, is always along for the ride — tail wagging the whole time.
