Groundhog Day has come and past and…

Well, Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow, so an early Spring is supposedly on the way. That means good for you and any trips to the Smokies you may have planned! Going in the winter is the best time to visit all of the sites with little of the traffic you come to know and “love” from the area. Go for it!

The Winter Heritage Festival is happening this weekend in Townsend, which you can read all about in one of our previous posts. For those interested in Appalachia in the Winter and how we survived those long ago, look no further!

The one downside to these “off season” months is the lack of major events, but many of your favorite sites will still be open and ready for entertainment. The Titanic Exhibit, countless dinner and theater shows, the shopping? All there! Dollywood is currently closed until March 26, but there’s still plenty to do in the region. So have a little fun with the lack of trip stress!
