The Sevier County Fair runs September 3-8 at the Sevier County Fairgrounds.
With September just around the corner, the local rites of fall are soon to follow. And for those of us that call the Smoky Mountains and the surrounding area home that means brightly colored leaves, footballs filling the the air and the time honored Sevier County Fair.
Like last year, the Sevier County Fair runs Labor Day week, September 2-7 at the Sevier County fairgrounds (754 Old Knoxville Highway, Sevierville, Tn), near the Wilderness Resort of the Smokies.
So, what’s in store for 2013 you ask? Plenty… to go along with all your favorite fair food, rides, competitions and attractions of years past. There will be a Dairy Show on Monday night and back by popular demand this year the Goat Show, running on Friday night.
The Fairest of the Fair – one of the most popular pageants in East Tennessee is back on Monday and Tuesday night at 6 pm. Tuesday at 7 pm, come see the turtle races. Wednesday the Open beef cattle show and the modified lawnmower races start things off followed by an ice cream eating contest.
As always, there will be a clown circus in the arena from Thursday on. On Friday night, the cornhole championships is sure to bring in spectators at 7 to see the area’s best beanbag tossers followed by storytelling. Then be sure to stick around for some great live entertainment as some of the area’s best wrestlers mix it up in the squared circle.
Saturday gates open at Noon and from there you head straight over to the dog show to see some of the area’s cutest pooches perform and compete for prizes. Follow that day’s events up with a talent show that night at 6:30 and you’re weekend is set.

The Grand Spring Rod Run rolls through town in mid April on the way to Pigeon Forge.
Just because the Rod Run is held in Pigeon Forge every year doesn’t mean that Sevierville doesn’t take part in its own way. For all the parking along the parkway, there’s just as much driving on Main, gawking at chrome, and whistling on the road.
Sevierville should start seeing the classic cars roll through town on their way towards the Parkway in Pigeon Forge around April 10. The 2012 Grand Spring Rod Run is slated for April 12-15. From shiny, chromed-up, vintage models to the unique fixer-upper, there are cars to look at, cars to drool over and cars to buy. It’s a can’t miss event for every kind of gearhead.
Starting at traffic light No. 3 in Pigeon Forge and running almost all the way down the Parkway, cars are parked in every available parking space facing the road. Literally thousands of cars. You can see cars of every description, especially cherry, vintage, American steel: ’58 Corvettes parked next to Model Ts; a ’55 Bel-Air parked next to a ’38 Studebaker Bus. One of the nicest things is that the owners of these cars will be sitting near them. Look for the lawn chairs near the car and they can tell you everything from where they got it, to what they have done to it and with it.
Right behind the cars will be the vendors. Vendor booths, sponsor booths and demonstrations are just part of the weekend. From Hunter’s Custom Automotive to Ausley’s Chevelle, Camaro Central to ET Motorgear, all the big companies are there. Get the answers that may make your car pain your car passion, then head back to the strip.
Things get even more exciting at night. There is an almost constant parade of cars as the owners fire up their machines and cruise the strip. The rumbling up and down the streets of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville is continuous. Thousands of pounds of steel, chrome and glass doing what they were meant to do… cruise.
The Pigeon Forge Spring Rod Run is the first of the big three car shows that literally take over the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge-Sevierville area every year. The other two car shows are Shades of the Past and the Fall Grand Rod Run. If you want to be a spectator, participant, or even a car show vendor then we have all of the information you need.

Fred Brown, co-author of “The Serpent Handlers: Three Families and Their Faith,” headlines the Rose Glen Literary Festival
Fred Brown, co-author of “The Serpent Handlers: Three Families and Their Faith,” will present a luncheon keynote speech during the second annual Rose Glen Literary Festival on Saturday, February 25 at Walters State Community College Sevier County Campus. The event will begin at 9am and conclude at 2pm with the luncheon taking place at noon.
Brown and his wife, novelist Jeanne McDonald, co-authored the book which follows three families who are prominent in the serpent handling faith. As a journalist, Brown spent 16 years following the faith and getting to know many who practice it in order to accurately tell their stories.
“Fred Brown has an unparalleled knowledge of East Tennessee and ability to relay a story,” says Sevierville Chamber special projects facilitator and event organizer Carroll McMahan. “I feel certain he will deliver a memorable address comparable to the outstanding remarks last year from Lyn Bales.”
A working journalist for 45 years, Brown is retired from The Knoxville News Sentinel and is a member of the Scripps Howard Hall of Fame. He is also a recipient of the Tennessee Associated Press Managing Editor’s Malcolm Law Trophy for Feature Writing and the National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in Journalism at the University of Michigan.
Other confirmed writers for the Rose Glen Literary Festival include Robert Allen (retired FBI Agent) and Steve Watson (retired TBI agent) who are co-authors of “The Perry’s Camp Murders” as well as J.C. and Margaret McCauley, co-authors of “Growing Up in Cade’s Cove”.
Other authors include Greg Johnson (“Sanctuary”), Cathy Wilhem (“Inside the Darkness, a Walk Through Grief”), Ersa Rhea Smith (“Flying Bullets and the Resplendent Badge”), Emma Catlett and Glenna Julian (“Kodak Historical Cookbook”), Laura Long Martin (“A Beautiful View: Reflection on Bluff Mountain by Matriarch Marian Oates”), Veta King (“History of Pigeon Forge” and “Images of America, Pigeon Forge”), Lyn Bales (“Natural Histories” and “Ghost Birds”), Mary Phillips (“Booger: A Tall Tale”), Eric Ball (“Blue Mountain Mist Cookbook”), Donnie Lamon (“Riding to Newport”), Dr. Bruce Wheeler (“A Mountain City in the New South”), Jack Hodge, Arthur McDade (“Smoky Mountain Days” and “The Natural Arches of Big South Fork”) and Steve Cotham (“Great Smoky Mountains National Park”).
There is an $18 charge for attending the keynote luncheon, which includes a gourmet chicken pot pie lunch, a gift from The Old Mill Pottery and an opportunity to win door prizes. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. There is no fee to attend the other workshops during the day. To reserve your tickets, call Carroll McMahan at (865) 453-6411.

Head to Gatlinburg for the area’s best New Years display if you’re coming to Sevierville.
If you’re in Sevierville for New Year’s Eve, head on over to Gatlinburg for the area’s most spectacular New Year’s display. Gatlinburg’s space needle in the middle of downtown is where all the action takes place around 11 pm Friday. Vendors will be handing out free party favors such for everyone who chooses to brave the crowds downtown in search of a memorable close to 2010. At midnight the ball will drop from the top of the space needle and fireworks will light up the night as everyone in the streets celebrate New Years in Gatlinburg, TN.
While you’re sure to see the show from the street, some of the best vantage points are from the balconies of hotels on the opposite side of the street from the space needle – that’s if you can secure a room. But don’t worry, there are also a handful of parking garages in the area that are good spots if you can get up top. Just look for the top of the space needle and you’ll be fine. If you are planning on driving out of Gatlinburg that night, park along River Road or on either end of town. Try not to park downtown… the closer you get to the space needle, the more likely you’ll end up staying the night.

Cosby, TN puts on a festival about its self each spring and fall called: On Cosby. This festival celebrates the best that Cosby has to offer.
Cosby, TN puts on a festival about its self each spring and fall called: On Cosby. This festival celebrates the best that Cosby has to offer. With a list off crafters as long as your arm ranging from homespun crafts to local authors, you can spend hours browsing through craft booths. On one row you can spend your time visiting the political booths and another visit with nonprofit groups. Still another option would be to head over and tuck into the food. On Cosby is a great local festival surrounded by the beauty of the Smokies.
The craft show is a major part of the On Cosby festival. Featuring 50-plus vendors, this show incorporates both traditional mountain crafts and a few things that you probably haven’t seen before. Obviously the crafters try to bring items that they think the crowd will enjoy, so you will see lots of quilts, bears and log cabin home decor. There are always a few things made only for the area such as the hillbilly wine glasses and paintings on old barn boards. The creativity of the crafts-people at On Cosby never ceases to amaze. The common, everyday item can become a work of art and an item that you may have discarded becomes somebody’s keepsake; truly it is a trash to treasure scenario. There is even a local author selling autographed copies of her book and getting the word out about her novel, which takes place in the shadows of the Smokies.
This is a typical small town festival with all the usual baggage. The back row of booths is dedicated to nonprofits and political campaigns. Beside the Democrats and Republicans sit the Girls Scouts selling brownies and cupcakes. Right next to a church’s youth group raising money for a trip is the Appalachian Bear Rescue booth. All of the various groups around Cocke County seem to have come out to plug their issues and speak to the public. And while the non-profits are speaking, the public is eating and being entertained.
Located in the center of the festival is the main stage. This stage will host many different kinds of music over the three days of the festival. Gospel is always a crowd favorite but there will be some local bluegrass thrown in for good measure. Between acts the DJ will keep the sounds of the Smokies playing you through your visit to the On Cosby festival. Make sure to stop around the corner for a look back into Cosby’s past and visit the moonshine exhibit. This representation shows why Cosby got its name of being the moonshine capital of the Smokies.
Toward the front of the festival is the line of food tents and booths. Finger foods and full meals dot the row of booths. The smell of BBQ wafting over the crowd is sometimes snuffed out by the smell of popcorn and cotton candy. Drinks flow freely even though it is not that warm outside and the breeze brings the sound of children lining up for delicious ice cream. On Cosby is definitely a festival to attend. Bring an appetite; bring a chair to relax in and listen to the music; and bring your family for some good wholesome fun.
