Jingle Bell Ball on the Titanic

On Thursday, December 2, my husband and I had the great honor of representing Fee Hedrick Family Entertainment & See Pigeon Forge at the Jingle Bell Ball. It was held at the world's largest Titanic museum attraction right here in Pigeon Forge and was to benefit the Boys& Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains.The turnout was spectacular and the food was nothing short of exquisite. There were tables scattered throughout the museum with servers dishing out yummy morsels and glasses of fine wines. Several of of area's best companies were represented such as: Bullfish Grill, Hillside Winery, McClaren's, Mountain Valley Winery, River Plantation Catering, Apple Barn Winery, Collier Restaurant Group, Walter State Culinary Arts, Clamore Restaurants, The Old Mill Pottery House Cafe & Grill, Chef's Catering, Centerplate, Apple Valley Mist, Starbucks of Pigeon Forge, All Occasion Party Rentals, Eric Bennecker & Associates, IJ Foods, and Masterpiece Ice Sculptures. All of which donated their time, services, and not to mention delectable goods. This made it possible for 100% of the proceeds to go to the cause.

The event also featured a silent auction where five magnificent packages were up for bid. These packages were:

*The first package was entitled “Heart of the Ocean” and consisted of Dinner for two at The Park Grill or The Peddler and Gatling Sky Lift Lift Passes (compliments of John & Mary Kellogg Joslyn , Goff & Pat Wolpert and Brian & Amanda Jensen.)

*The fifth package was “The Magic of Christmas” and consisted of an emerald and diamond pendant, dinner for two at Partridge & the Pear, and one night's stay at The Inn at Christmas Place (compliments of an anonymous friend and The Incredible Christmas Place.)

The Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains isn't just a place for kids to go after school or during the summer. They offer many fun and exciting programs for the youth such as: basketball, Torch Club, Junior Staff, Bible Study(optional), Keystone, art classes, and computer classes. The Clubs also offers a place to meet new friends, go on field trips, and build self esteem. It has a reward system set up for school achievements and this promotes better grades in school. The money made from the Jingle Bell Ball could not have went toward a better cause!
