This week's question, "When visiting Pigeon Forge during Winterfest what is your #1 favorite thing to do while in town?"  

 

Last week's question, "Are you spending your Thanksgiving in Pigeon Forge?  If so where will you be for Thanksgiving dinner?"      

 

Charlotte writes, "Yes we are spending Thanksgiving in Pigeon Forge. So excited to be heading back to the mountains as we have not been up since March. We will probably end up eating at Golden Corral that way my husband can eat all he wants.  Plus they have a good variety of items. And the good thing about eating out for Thanksgiving for me anyway is no leftovers and no mess to clean up.

 

The Edward's family writes, "Yes we will be there for thanksgiving..our favorite is always the Golden Corral so that is probably where we will end up!!!"

One of the 10 Best Holiday Light Displays in the U.S.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Great Smoky Mountains were reported as one of the 10 best Holiday Light Displays in the U.S. by Mainstreet.com. They report the "Great Smoky Mountains are a national treasure in and of themselves, but when the surrounding areas light up their towns for their Winterfest celebrations, the region is even more magical. Pigeon Forge lights up its city with over 5 million holiday lights, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors."  We couldn't agree more! The Smokies and Pigeon Forge are definitely a magical place to be during the holidays and we hope each of you can join us for this Winterfest season!
