When You Think of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee...
...What comes to mind? Cabins? The Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Theaters? Dollywood? Car Shows? We posed this question in our weekly eNewsletter. We were overwhelmed with response! Here's what some of you had to say...
"When I think of Pigeon Forge I think of Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, the sounds of the water running in the river, walking at night and seeing the neon lights, friendly people and beautiful places to visit. I just love it."
"The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Pigeon Forge is the Pigeon Forge Parkway and all of the nifty little shops and attractions! Our family travels to Pigeon Forge at least once a year and most of the time two or three times. We love Pigeon Forge!"
"When we think about Pigeon Forge, we think about the mountains, the friendliness of the people, their accents, our favorite places to eat, our walks and most of all, just being down there. "
"You asked what comes to mind for me in Pigeon Forge.......Mountains...color...fall.
We come to Pigeon Forge every fall.......I just love the morings in the mountains...I love how the whole town gets into decorating........We have been in the spirng and we have been in the summer but fall is the best time to visit.
My parents tell me there are other places to visit instead of Pigeon Forge but I tell them there is nothing like fall in Pigeon Forge....you go where you want I will go where I want. I love it."

My family has been to Florida, on cruises but a favorite place to spend our vacation is Pigeon Forge, TN. There is just nothing like the mountains. We love fall in there, it is just a wonderful place to spend your hard earned time off!!! We always go home talking about all the great things we saw in the mountains. Again it's just our favorite place to go on vacation. !!!

My wife and I are from valley Forge PA. We have been to Pigeon Forge twice in the last 2 years. We love the Smokies, Dollywood and everyone down there. It is such a nice place to visit. We are going back down in Dec 2005. We want to see Pigeon Forge at Christmas time. We are planning on bringing our 2 yr old granddaughter down in 2006.

I'm a Russian student.I visited Pigeon Forge last summer. It's a really beautiful place with amazing woods and mountains! I enjoyed its fresh air going for a walk in the morning. It's a pity that I couldn't see the fall because my visa expired and I had to leave. But I hope to see it someday!
