Send us photos, memories, travel tips, anything that you would like to tell us about your experience in the Smokies. Every week we will highlight reader's comments in this article. Thanks for all the feedback. We love to hear from you!
 Once again we are spicing the Question of the Week up for a chance to win 2 tickets to the Country Tonite Theatre! The first person to correctly answer this question will be the winner! Just respond to this email with your answer.
Question of the Week, "Name that place! What/where is this clip of a photo?"
Last week's question, "What attraction/site/restaurant/etc. is a must see while in Pigeon Forge?"
Katie Sue writes, "Our annual friendship group just got back to Fl. from a 5 day stay in Pigeon Forge. The Titanic is a MUST see. Be sure to get your tickets on line or a day early so you don't have to wait in line. It is a 2 hr walking tour. Also the Magic Beyond Belief Show is great and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is another must see!! Just not enough time to see everything!!! Thank you for the newly paved road in Cades Cove, it is greatly appreciated."
Andrea says, "A must see attraction in Pigeon Forge is Cirque de Chine. It's very entertaining and well worth the money. The magic show with Terry Evanswood in Wonderworks is also excellent.
Margaret enjoys, "To be able to sit and relax on the sofa watching and listening to the big clock on the hour at The Christmas Inn."
Kelly says, "When we travel to Pigeon Forge for our vacation every summer from Canada our first stop is always Hillbilly Village! How could we go home without a Hillbilly calendar?"
Linda writes, "The question this week is very hard to answer. The beauty of the Smokies, the wonderful restaurants, especially the Apple Barn, all the attractions, it's just too hard to pick one in particular. But I guess the one thing I have to see when I'm there is the backroads. Just fill up your car or truck, pack an ice chest and head out. Follow the backroads thru the beautiful scenery. We have seen some of the most beautiful wildflowers, fall colors, snow ever imaginable. Just go far it and venture out. One road in particular stands out. Take Walden's Creek Road and follow it all the way into Walland. We came on this quite by accident and now it is one of our favorites. Hardly any traffic on it, you can go as slow as you want and take in the peace and beauty." |
