Fish and Picnic!
HAVE A GREAT TIME IN THE NATIONAL PARK
Picnic spots are all over the Smoky Mountain National Park (Near the Little River by Sugarlands Visitor Center, In Greenbrier, Cosby, Cades Cove to name a few) where you'll find a picnic table and a fire grate waiting for you. It's also possible to reserve picnic pavilions in case you're here with a big group...we've seen lots of youth groups, church retreats, and family reunions.
Fishing is also allowed year-round with a TN or NC fishing licence (available at many spots including local hardware stores and grocery stores...let us know if you need help finding one) Visit a park visitor center for all their regulations and info about what species to look for.

DOLLYWOOD'S SHA-KON-O-HEY
Sha-Kon-O-Hey: Land of Blue Smoke Second Season
A group of nine acrobats from the country of Ukraine arrived for the second season of Dolly Parton's own Sha-Kin-O-Hey. They are wowing audiences three to four times a day (5 days a week). The elite group was chosen by director Paul Crouch when he traveled to the Ukraine for auditions.
Just one of dozens of shows visitors to Dollywood enjoy, all included with their entrance fee.

Outlet shopping in Sevierville
I don't like visiting an outlet mall that's, well... Not an outlet mall at all.
We like Tanger outlets in Sevierville on Hwy 441 because the stores really do have discounted prices, but also because it is a well maintained, pretty and clean place to spend a morning. (It is very popular, so usually crowded. We try to get there earlier in the day, before the crowds show up.)
