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, "Now that it is officially November a lot of people quickly switch into Christmas season, have you started preparing for Christmas yet or do you wait until after Thanksgiving?"   

 

Last week's question, "Halloween is on Monday! What is your favorite part about Halloween?"
Jacob writes, "I have never passed out candy before because I was always out but this year I will... so I hope that this will make it my favorite part for many reasons. Such as being with my friend and getting to just sit and eat. :)"
 
Brad writes, "I always loved getting the kids dressed up to trick or treat but now since they're all grown up I love to as stay at home and "trick" the trick or treaters in spooky costumes!"
Still Time for Rafting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
September sun starts setting earlier and earlier and fades into October and early November. As soon as the fall winds start to blow, many whitewater rafting companies are closing for the season-but not Rafting in the Smokies!  The Gatlinburg-based rafting company believes that serious paddling season doesn't wait for the weather. Cold water gushes down from the mountains, and this is one rafting and paddling group that accommodates visitors who crave the excitement of rafting. The rafting experts at Rafting in the Smokies navigate visitors on an expedition through the rugged and exhilarating Smoky Mountain waters until Thanksgiving. Feel up for the challenge? Just wear the right gear and bring the right attitude.

Fall Color Peak in the Smokies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This week the fall colors are at their peak and the reds, oranges and yellows are in full swing.  Some leaves have already fallen but we still do have a lot of color in the trees.  Last week we suggested you visit within the next ten days so be sure you're getting the full colors of the season.  If you're visiting this week or next just be sure to enjoy what's left of this beautiful fall season and get prepared for the winter chill and winterfest lights!  Winterfest kickoff is next week so it's already time to start planning your winter vacation to Pigeon Forge

Celebrate Veterans Day in the Smokies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

This year we will be celebrating Veterans Day twice in Sevier County.  The annual Veterans Day Celebration will be November 11 on Ripley's Plaza as it is every year.  Come out and join the City of Gatlinburg in saluting the men and women of America who have served in our Armed Forces in this special ceremony on Ripley's Aquarium Plaza. This ninth annual program begins at 11:00 a.m. and includes stirring musical tributes, ceremonial words and recognition of Veterans in attendance. This event is designated an official Regional Site for the Observance of Veterans Day by the Veterans Day National Committee, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The new event for this year will be a parade honoring America's veterans, a new element to the November 8 kickoff for Pigeon Forge Winterfest.  This will serve as an early salute to Veterans Day that will take place later on this week.
