The rain that Sevier County received over the weekend did not dampen the spirit or the turnout of this years Grand Fall Rod Run. As expected with the major car shows throughout the year, the turnout was tremendous.
Classic cars, hotrods, low riders, motorcycles, and souped-up golfcarts were everywhere throughout town. Every available piece of real estate available in town was turned into parking where car owners could show off these wonderful automobiles.
The sidewalks lining the parkway were covered in folding chairs and people watching the cars drive by in traffic. It was a great car show overall.

At the 2009 Golden Ticket Awards, Dollywood won several trophy including the park’s first-ever for Best Shows and a second consecutive win for Best Christmas Event.
Dollywood also took home third place honors for Friendliest Park and Cleanest Park as well as forth place honors for Best Food and Best Water Ride for the Mountain Sidewinder.
The Golden Ticket Awards are presented to the “best of the best” in the amusement industry and calculated from an international poll conducted by Amusement Today magazine. Surveys were sent to a database of experienced and well-traveled amusement park fans around the world – in balanced geographical regions – asking them to rate the “bests” in 25 categories such as amusement parks, roller coasters, shows, friendliest staff and water rides.
Congratulations to Dollywood and staff on this impressive win.

The Shades of the Past car show is back in Pigeon Forge this weekend. It should be a great weekend for the show. Traffic has really started to build in Pigeon Forge.
There also seem to be alot of motorcycles in town for the show. I wanted to post a couple of pictures of several of them. I will have car show pictures up over the weekend.
