Colors are changing in Gatlinburg

Colder nights are moving in to the Great Smoky Mountains and the fall colors are starting to come alive!

Just spent the last five days in Gatlinburg - it was great! The whether was perfect during the day, in the 70s, -  with the fresh, cool, evening air you had to bundle up a bit - Fall has certainly arrived in the Smokies!

The tourist  were in full force and seemed to enjoy the colorful fall decorations that the City Gatlinburg and shop owners have provided. One thing missing if you  not visited in a while is the telephone poles and wires that used to be every where. It took several years but there all gone!! Looks great and so much more inviting.

Several new shops have opened up over the past few years. A few new restaurants and attractions giving a fresh new look to the downtown area.  I'll tell a little bit more about on future post.

The Gatlinburg Craftsmen Fair is in it's 37th year. It is held at the convention center from Oct. 11 til Oct 28th.  Stop in and visit us in booth 707 - Cherry-Pit-Pac.  There are over 200 booths from crafters from all across the US.
