If you didn't attend this year's Great Smoky Mountain Auto Fest, you missed out on a great time and the opportunity to win a complete weekend family get-away. That's right! See Pigeon Forge was out there giving away 2 nights at the fabulous Willow Brooke Lodge, 4 tickets to the knee slappin' good Comedy Barn, 4 tickets to Dollywood, and $40 to any of the Collier restaurants. All folks had to do was register for the drawing held on Saturday. T-shirts were handed out and children were also able to get their faces painted for free. The winner of the vacation was Richard Anderson and family of Alabama.
The Auto Fest was delightful with its large variety in vendors and food. There was great music the entire time and plenty of prizes to be won. The largest prize of the Fest was the 50/50 jackpot. There was also a swap meet and a wonderful selection of cars to behold.Then to close the event, they offered a delicious dinner.
I recommend this event to all families. It is fun for all ages and has so much to offer:)

SeePigeonForge.com visits the 2010 Grand Rod Run
We had a ton of fun! If you've never been to one - try to catch it next year!
Busy Weekend
This past weekend, I had the great pleasure of representing See Pigeon Forge at a few local events. I found the experience to be both humbling and rejuvenating. The first event, Keep Sevier Beautiful's clean-up on Saturday morning, was like a breath of fresh air for me. As I picked up trash along the roads, the ever-inspiring Great Smoky Mountains provided a gorgeous backdrop. Each passer-by smiled as he/she drove past. It reminded just why so many people visit our area each year. The combination of nature's beauty and so many friendly faces provides a perfect family vacation retreat. It really is a home away from home. I felt deeply honored to be able to help preserve its loveliness by taking part in the clean-up. I encourage everyone to get involved with Keep Sevier Beautiful. One person ALWAYS makes a difference, but together we are a force to be reckoned with.
The second event was the car parking at the Grand Fall Rod Run with the United Way of Sevier County. These folks worked extremely hard directing traffic, collecting money, and answering all sorts of questions. The heat made it just a little more than uncomfortable, but they had a great desire to make it a success. Rarely do you see such enthusiasm as such that is shown by our local United Way. I enjoyed the time I spent helping them immensely. I look forward to their upcoming Taste of Autumn and Shark Race this week.
Lastly, I visited the folks out at the Dumplin Valley Bluegrass Festival. The talent there was outstanding! There were vendors selling food, musical instruments, and other items from the bands playing. I enjoyed the great food selection and the country setting, but most of all; I enjoyed the kindness of the people. Everyone was in great spirits. If you have never been to this festival, I highly recommend it.
You can see picture of these events as well as our new video of the Grand Fall Rod Run 2010 on our Facebook fan page. Check it out and stay involved!

There's more to do in September!
We would like to extend a big "THANK YOU" to the guests that came in for the Shades of the Past 2010 event. You were both friendly and a joy to be in the company of. Not only did you bring with you some amazing cars, but you brought a great time as well! We are looking forward to having you back really soon.
Don't think that just because the Shades of the Past event is over, there is nothing left to do in our area during the month of September. There is still endless fun to be had and the list of events, still yet to come, goes on and on. Events such as: The Dumplin Valley Bluegrass Festival, The United Way's 13th Taste of Autumn and their ever exciting Shark Race, Pittman Center's Heritage Day, Smoky Mountain Trout Tournament, The 7th Annual Old Mill Heritage Day in Pigeon Forge, and The 18th Annual Heritage Festival & Old Timers Day in Townsend. Oh, you can't forget the two remaining auto events, The Fall Grand Rod Run and The 5th Annual Great Smoky Mountain Auto Festival.
The proceeds of both Taste of Autmun and the Shark Race go the The United Way of Sevier County. You could have fun and help a great cause.
If you want to know more about the time and days of these and other events, just check out our events page. Also, if you would like to see pictures of Shades of the Past, add us on Facebook. We offer weekly contests and much more.

September: Fireworks, a Fair, and a Ford
September is just busting at the seams with things to do with the entire family during your stay here in the Smokies. The month starts off with "Boomsday," the largest Labor Day fireworks show in the Nation. It is on September 5th in Knoxville. There is food, games, and live entertainment. It is both brilliant and amazing.
The Sevier County Fair is also this month. It is always a favorite with great crafts, rides, and contests. There will be wrestling, Kids Dance Showcase, The Fairest of the Fair, and much more. Come join the hometown fun!
The long awaited Shades of the Past Hot Rod Round Up #28 is finally here. It is for Rods, Customs, and Classics through 1972. It will be held on September 10th & 11th at Dollywood's Splash Country. First prize is a 1932 Ford Roadster and second prize is $10,000. For those of you who have not been to this event in the past, it consumes the whole town. The streets are filled with cars on display and guests sitting in lawn chairs. Folks of all ages enjoy it.
While you are in the mood for racing and looking at cars, swing by The Track or NASCAR Speedpark. Hey, they are not just for the kids you know. If you want to do something more educational, try the Smoky Mountain Car Museum. They have all sorts of cars peppered throughout history.
These are just some of the things that September has to offer. Check out our events page for the complete listing. Also, don't forget about our terrific new deal we have going, buy two of the following shows and get the third free: Black Bear Jamboree Dinner & Show, Magic Beyond Belief, The Miracle, Kick 'N Country, Blackwood Breakfast Variety Show, The Comedy Barn, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! These are all super shows and this is a "steal" of a deal.
