March has brought us probably been some of the best of 2016 we've seen so far - and we're only 9 days in. Such can be expected when you're greeted with warm temperatures, green grass, flowers and trees already blooming and sunshine that makes you glad you went outside.
And we follow that up with two highly anticipated special events coming up very soon.
March 15th is the start of A Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, TN, at the LeConte Conference Center downtown. This is a surprisingly popular and enriching special event for fans of the Appalachian culture here in the Smokies with many amazing quilts on display, workshops for and taught by professional quilters, and prizes for top quality works of art as well. Quiltfest goes on from 3/15/16 to 3/19/16. You can find more on that at www.mypigeonforge.com/events/quiltfest/.
And then, also on March 19th, is an event a LOT of people look forward to - Dollywood's "Festival of Nations" and grand re-opening for the 2016 season. This year the entertainment will include:
* Mother Africa
* Los Pampas Gauchos
* Atahualpa
* Celtic Coast
* David Charrier
* Duo Del Sol
And more that you can find at www.dollywood.com.
As always, check back with us next month and get a good amount of Smoky Mountain information at www.allthesmokies.com.
