Question of the Week, "Spring is in the air! What is your favorite Spring/Springfest story from Pigeon Forge?"
Last week's question, "Easter is this Sunday, what's your favorite Easter memory from the Smokies?"
Tom writes, "It was our kids Spring Break and we thought we would plan a getaway to the mountains. We spent 3 nights at the Glenstone Lodge in Gatlinburg and the last morning we went down to the hotel restaurant and were eating breakfast and looked out the window and it was snowing, the big flakes. Being from Georgia, at that time my kids had never seen snow like that, especially at Easter. Me and my wife were very surprised, as well. Now, every time we go back to Gatlinburg, especially in the spring and if we drive up Airport Rd, we always say remember when......We had a story to tell the family when we saw everyone the next day, Easter Sunday." |
