This week's question, "Where is your favorite spot in Pigeon Forge for a family vacation photo?"

Last week's question, "What are some of your New Year's resolutions? Perhaps visit Pigeon Forge more in 2011?"  

Melinda writes, "My new year's resolution is always the same because it works out so well. It's to try something new. Usually the Smokies is the place it happens. I've tried different trails, new attractions, new restaurants. This year I plan on trying out a Zipline. Really looking forward to it."

Deborah says, "Wow, 2010 is almost history, what a year! We visited Pigeon Forge several times, in 2011 we're planning on returning to check out some of the new shows.  I've checked the line up for First Class Productions at Country Tonite and hope to see about three shows.  The lineup this year is as good, if not better than last year.  I hope to see yall around Valentine's for a few days."

Millions have taken their photo with this famous entrance sign to the Great Smoky Mountains.  Have you?  We would love to see it!  This is such a popular photo opportunity on a visit to the Smoky Mountains we thought it would be fun to create a photo gallery of your photos from along the years.  If you do have a family photo in front of this sign and would like to see it on PigeonForge.com please email it to katie@pigeonforge.com.  In the email you can include names and dates from your trip to the Smokies.

Memories Theatre was scheduled to perform their final show last Saturday night (Jan. 1) before closing their doors for good.  The 800+ people who showed up to watch the final show were ecstatic to hear this would not be the final show after all!   The theatre decided the show had been far too successful to shut their doors and they needed to find a new location.  The deal come through the day of the final show for the theatre to move to the former Oldies Showplace Dinner Theatre next to the Country Tonite Theatre. The name of the show and website will stay the same. The new theater will have about 300 - 400 seats, downsizing from the original theater's 800 seats, and will not be a dinner theater.  The new show will have the same concept as Memories, just on a smaller scale.  The new location show will begin this spring at 140 Showplace Blvd in Pigeon Forge.
