It’s almost time for the big rod runs of the summer again, with Shades of the Past on September 10th and 11th! This classic (And we do mean classic) rod run is one of the more popular annual events here in the Smokies with good reason. A celebration of past design and ingenuity, people come from all over the country just to show off their retro-wheels! You could probably get in town and not be able to turn around without seeing a plethora of cars, but the main show will be taking place at Dolly’s Splash Country’s parking lot. For those that have attended previous years, this means less dust, mud and panicky owners trying to keep their car clean. Huzzah!
The Shades of the Past website have a lot more details on the subject. Spectator entry into the main area is $10, where you can view and a amazing amount of cars, chat with their owners and more. If you’re wanting to register your own vehicle, registration is $50 and will also be available on site. Prizes this year include $10,000 and a ‘32 HiBoy Roadster, so it certainly can’t hurt to show off your chops (Assuming you have them, anyway. I know I don’t. I highly doubt anyone would consider my car “classic”. Ghastly, maybe!)
When the winners are announced this year, we’ll update again with the winning cars. Until then, happy viewings!

Want some good ol’ mountain music to soothe the soul? Then look no further than the Smoky Mountains! In the Old Mill Square and Patriot Park Friday, August 13 to Saturday, August 14, you can get your string on with some of the finest Appalachian musicians this side of… Well, Appalachia. There will be a load of people, a load of food and a load of bands all doing an open jam in the daylight along with a live broadcast from WDVX for their Blue Plate Special show.
