| Question of the Week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section is dedicated to you, our readers! Feel free to email us any of your fun stories from your vacation in Pigeon Forge. 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!
Question of the Week,
Last Week's Question, "With fall quickly approaching, what is your favorite way to enjoy the fall foliage?"
Carolyn writes, "Our favorite way to enjoy the fall foliage is to come to the Great Smoky Mountains each year. We always arrive during the first week of November. This allows us to enjoy the last of the fall color and to also enjoy all of the Christmas lights and decorations of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and also Dollywood. During this time the weather is mild, the crowds are down, and the mountains are beautiful."
Richard says, "We usually come up to enjoy the leaves and ride thru cades cove a couple times while were in the area for a few days coming up on the 23rd of September to see Leroy Van Dyke, Mo Bandy and Rex Allen Jr, at Country Tonite Theater and spend a couple days in Pigeon Forge just relaxing." |

| Smokies are Still Number One to Us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  As most of you know, Coca-Cola launched the, "America is Your Park" campaign to encourage Americans to get out and take advantage of our National Parks! They were rewarding the Park with the highest amount of votes a $100,000 recreation grant. Of course we wanted the Smokies to win but, unfortunately we were passed by Bear Head Lake State Park. Bear Head won the grant with over 1.6 million votes and The Smoky Mountains came in second place just behind Bear Head. Although the Smokies didn't win, there were a lot of parks across America that have benefited from Coca Cola's fund raising and a thank you goes out to all voters from Coca Cola.
