Fall is just around the corner. The leaves will start turning soon in the lower elevations. October is the month of Harvest in the Smokies. It is a beautiful fun time to be in this area. Music and craft shows and the natural beauty of the mountains it is a must see for everyone! There are three large craft shows One at the Gatlinburg Convention Center -October 6th thru 23rd. It is one of the largest craft shows in the area. There is also the Rotary Craft show in Pigeon Forge at the Old Mill Area and Patriot Park. And of course the Harvest Festival at Dollywood which also features free concerts in addition to their regular shows.

Harvest isnt the only starting at this time of year. On my way to work this morning I saw the City workers starting to put of lights for Winterfest. They have 8 weeks to put up the millions of lights for Winterfest. What an amazing thing!
