I recently visited one of Dolly Parton’s Pigeon Forge shows—Smoky Mountain Opry—and what a pleasant surprise!  Full disclosure here: I pretty much love any kind of show like this – professional or amateur.

Let me tell you about my family’s visit to Hatfield & McCoy’s Dinner Feud—the show did NOT disappoint.  When we arrived, we were so excited!  The atmosphere is well-themed, both inside and out.

When the calendar flipped to November, my family drove up to Pigeon Forge so we could be among the first to see the Smoky Mountain Adventures Christmas Dinner and Show. Since we’ve seen Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction before, the bar was high in terms of our expectations (if Dolly’s name is on it, [...]

Being the master storyteller that Dolly Parton is, she’s been tweaking the storyline of her newest dinner theater experience, and folks, it’s a winner. Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures is the getaway your family needs to take.
