Question of the Week!  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This section is dedicated to you, our readers! Feel free to reply to this email with 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!

 

This week's question, "We have a lot of fun events coming up with the fall Rod Run, Harvest Festival and then Winterfest.  What 2011 event are you looking forward to?"  

 

Last week's question, "With the fall season right around the corner where is your favorite place to view the fall foliages in the Smokies?"   

 

Carolyn writes, "We love to drive along Wear's Valley Road to view the fall colours...its great because you are in the valley, with the mountains in the distance, you get a great view of the wide variety of colours in the fall...really though, it is beautiful anywhere in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg in the fall!"

 

Renee writes, "Anywhere in the great Smokies you will see beautiful fall foliage. But our favorite 2 places would be Cade's cove and Blue Ridge Parkway. Both have many areas you can stop and take some of the most breath taking photos. We are looking forward to coming once again to the great Smokies to see God's majestic coloring book of fall colors."

Helium Balloon Coming to Pigeon Forge!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wonderworks has plans to build a large tethered balloon that will be located right behind their building. The balloon will be illuminated at night will stand 105 feet high on the ground. Then the helium will carry the balloon and its passengers about 400 feet up for a view of the city and the Great Smoky Mountains. The ride will be completely silent because it runs off of helium. The balloon will be considered a ride but really it's more of a leisure trip up about 400 feet for a nice view instead of a thrill ride. Ready to ride the balloon? They are projected to be open by Easter 2012! Be sure to keep checking back for the official open date so you can be one of the first riders!
