Last week's question, "Have you ever spent Valentine's Day in Pigeon Forge? What was your favorite part?"

Deborah writes, "Yes, we spent last year in Pigeon Forge for Valentine`s and had the most fun just relaxing and driving thru cades cove with all the snow, then just enjoying the scenery around town took in a couple dinner shows , but the most fun was sitting in the hot tub at the resort we were in and watching the snow fall on the river and in the distant mountains, BEAUTIFUL, looking forward to coming back this year."

Happy Groundhog Day!  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is the day we find out if there will be 6 more weeks of a cold winter or if the spring weather is right around the corner!  For all you winter lovers out there if Phil the groundhog sees his shadow there will be plenty of time for skiing and snowboarding at Ober Gatlinburg for the rest of this winter season.  It also means there's still time to book your trip to Pigeon Forge to explore the snowy Smoky Mountains by day and retreat to cozy cabin by night.  As for you warmer weather fans you may get lucky if Mr. Phil doesn't see his shadow and get your early spring weather.  This means there will be time for beautiful hikes in the Smoky Mountains, strolls down the parkway and plenty more outdoor activities in Pigeon Forge!  Be sure to watch for the Groundhog Day prediction!
