Wiener Dog Race, Mystery Night: This Weekend In Mooresville

MOORESVILLE, NC — Fall is in full swing in Mooresville this weekend, with plenty of fun things to do around town. Climb a straw castle or take a wagon ride through the Lazy 5 Ranch, which is celebrating it’s annual fall festival. If that sounds too tame, get an adrenaline rush at Scarrigan Farms haunted trail, or take in the wiener dog races in downtown Mooresville. Friday night, there’s a murder planned in the town library, too. If you're looking for something to do, Patch has you covered.
