Pigeon Forge 2
Kick back day.
This morning we took it easy for a while then drove the Parkway(‘Strip’ to you Las Vegas types) to see if there was anything we might have overlooked two days ago. Did see more stuff but it was just more of the same. We did take some time to walk through an area called ‘The Island’. Meandering outdoor mall filled with touristy specialty shops of all kinds, amusements, candy and ice cream shops, restaurants with big name owners, etc., all surrounding a large pool that has dancing fountain show every 30 minutes. Interesting to walk through now. Would not want to try in the summer.
Early this afternoon we did an alpine coaster. Individual coaster cars that twist and turn down the side of a mountain.
Fun ride but a very fast way to spend $26 (for both of us). Something we didn’t know was on our bucket list but now it is done. 
Late afternoon we headed over to Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede.
Best description I can give – on a scale of one to ten(best) this show is a twenty.
Experience starts with a half hour preshow in a non-alcoholic saloon.
The arena is huge. Each of above pictures shows about 1/3 of house. Seating is comfortably tight. House was full. Have no idea how many people.
Dinner is served without utensils
Second course after soup and biscuit. Whole chicken. Small but whole. Two more courses and dessert followed.
Basic theme is wild west show with added elements.
Talented horse men and women, fun comedy, historical elements, great special effects, singing, dancing, patriotism, and more. Very fun.
