Pigeon Forge in Southern Living Magazine

Thank you to all you Southern Living Magazine subscribers out there who gave recognition to our area as being your favorite Mountain Destination in 2006. In the annual end of the year “Readers’ Choice Award” poll, because of your efforts, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg took first place! In addition to that, Pigeon Forge was second only to Atlanta in the category of favorite place to shop.

These results were listed in the January issue of the magazine. The people at Southern Living wanted to know what their readers’ favorite places to visit in the south were; and apparently people were very anxious to respond. The magazine reports that thousands sent in their replies in order to express their appreciation of the fun and enjoyment they experienced in the various places they visited in 2006.

Here are the results, in order of most votes received, for categories where you chose Pigeon Forge:

Mountain Destination

  • GATLINBURG / PIGEON FORGE, TENNESSEE
  • ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
  • BLOWING ROCK, NORTH CAROLINA

Shopping

  • PIGEON FORGE, TENNESSEE
  • CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA

So, thank you again for giving us your votes. We are pleased to see that you love coming to Pigeon Forge as much as we truly enjoy having you. To read more about this in the local news, click here. Or you can visit the Southern Living website to view all the results of the poll.
