Last night we gave in to the glitz of Pigeon Forge and went to Dolly Parton's Dixeland Stampede.
Pigeon Forge does not summon images of 'kiss me quick', amusment arcades and shows. But that is exactly what it is!!! Right in the middle of the Smokie Mountains a resort has grown up of Blackpoolian proportions. One huge Strip Mall alternating motel, crazy golf, restaurant, gift shop, amusement arcade or attraction.
Anyway we decided to go to the Dixe Stampede. We had a great evening, loads of food, a whole (but small) chicken, jacket potato, corn, soup, apple pastry and coffee. All the while we were entertained by horse riding, cattle stampede, buckboard races, and other showmanship.
It was great fun. Unfortunately, no pics were allowed, so we have no evidence of having been apart from memories, oh and a little plastic boot/mug, a flag and a pencil.
Today is Easter Sunday when we remember what Jesus gave for us on the cross. Happy Easter to everyone.
