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!  

This week's question, "We have the perfect hiking and outdoor activity weather right now in Pigeon Forge! What is your favorite outdoor activity?"

 

Last week's question,  "A lot are excited about the Spring Rod Run, what other Spring events are you looking forward to?"

 

Sheri says, "My family and I always visit during the Dolly Parade.  She is always stunning on her float and the kids really enjoy seeing her and then visiting Dollywood."

 

John writes, "Our favorite event is Ribfest and Wings.  You can't beat great ribs and live entertainment.  Always a highlight of my time in Pigeon Forge."

Dollywood Opening!   
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Saturday, March 26, is the official opening of Dollywood for the 2011 season.  The Dollywood grand opening weekend will be filled with lots of fun happenings at Dollywood but don't get too excited about seeing Dolly there.  She isn't guaranteed to be at the opening weekend since it is not the weekend of the Dolly Homecoming Parade.  Dolly will be in town on May 6 for the Dolly Parade. If you're really interested in seeing Dolly, be sure to mark you calendars to visit for the 2011 Dolly Homecoming Parade!
