On Cosby Festival

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.

Smoky Mountain Knife Works – A Destination Unto Itself

Smoky Mountain Knife Works is not only a great destination if you’re shopping for knives, but it’s also the location of the National Knife Museum. At Smoky Mountain Knife Works, you’ll learn about the history of the knife, as well as many other tools, as you shop for that perfect pocket or hunting knife.

There are very few retail stores or locations that become a destination unto themselves. Smoky Mountain Knife Works is one of those locations (along with Bass Pro Shops and Gatlinburg’s Arts and Crafts Community). People from all over the country make the big-blue-roofed building the first stop of their vacation as they enter Sevier County, the Gateway to the Smoky Mountains! Smoky Mountain Knife Works is one of the largest retail companies in the area (more than 80,000 square feet), but the building contains a lot more than just a shopping experience. Besides a store full of knives, knife accessories and kitchenware, the store contains one of the nation’s largest collections of trophy wildlife, indoor waterfalls, relics and artifacts of native people from around the world and employees that have more knowledge of the products they are selling than you will find anywhere else. It also houses the National Knife Museum.

The National Knife Museum is located upstairs above the showroom area as you come in the front doors. The exhibits have been gathered from the knife makers themselves and you will be able to view not only the knives but examples of the original advertising pieces that have become a true part of Americana. The museum covers the progress of the knife from early man using stone tools through the change to steel and beyond. If you are a knife enthusiast you will find yourself reading every word of text and examining each display. Spending hours going through the museum is not unheard of.

Even if you are not in the official museum area of the Knife Works, you will notice that the entire store is one huge collection. The walls are covered with displays covering every brand, every pattern, every kind of knife you could imagine. The showroom claims it is the largest knife collection in the world and we would have to say they are right. Besides the knives, you will be hard pressed to find a bigger or better exhibit of trophy wildlife from around the world. The exhibit covers animals from almost every continent, and patrons will have a hard time not being drawn to the animals covering the walls. You will also see some animals that don’t exist in nature like the elusive jack-a-lope. While you are there enjoying the displays, look for the moose with long-horn steer horns–another of their treasures and one of our favorites.

In the lower part of this something-for-everyone environment, you will find the relic area. Kevin Pipes, owner of Smoky Mountain Knife Works, has been a collector of Native American relics and artifacts since he was a child. Archeology is one of his passions and he has been able to collect artifacts from around the world, from east Tennessee to the Sahara Desert. In the artifact section of the Knife Works, you will see Neanderthal stone axes, arrowheads, head-pots from Peru and even crystal Clovis points – one of the most exotic raw materials used by stone-age man. This area was added, along with about 30,000 square feet of space, when the new addition opened in 2006.

Last, but certainly not least, the employees at the Knife Works provide great customer service. Whether you are ordering from one of the 325,000 catalogs they ship a month, ordering on the internet through www.smkw.com, or from the retail showroom, you will be treated like you are their top priority. And as far as their customer service goes the customer is their top priority. Smoky Mountain Knife Works employees roughly 250 employees, from their massive warehouse in Dandridge, TN to their call center, and those employees want to make sure that each customer has the best experience they can have. Knowledgeable and well trained, the staff at the Knife Works can answer any question you have about the products they sell. The employees receive training not only from the management at the knife works, some have been with the company for 20+ years, but also from the vendors. You will find that some of the employees sought employment at SMKW due to past visits and devotion to some of the brands they collect.

The Smoky Mountain Knife Works needs to be on your list of “Things to See & Do” in the Smokies. Whether you are staying in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville or Gatlinburg it is worth your time to find the big-blue-roof. Go in, learn some history, shop and gaze in wonderment at the exhibits on the walls. Your trip to the Smokies will be much richer for adding the Knife Works to your itinerary.

The Great Smoky Mountain Autofest

The Great Smoky Mountain Autofest starts on September 23 in Sevierville, Tennessee.

In East Tennessee, you’re about as likely to see a car show on the weekend as you are to see footballs flying through the air on a fall Friday night. Simply put, people around these parts love their classic cars and like showing them off even more.

Sevierville and The Diner Rats Car Club will get into the act later this month (September 23, 24, and 25) with their annual Great Smoky Mountain Autofest, held yearly at Smokies Stadium, just off Interstate 40. It’s a great show for those of you who don’t want to battle the crowds at the Pigeon Forge Rod Runs, but still want to take in a car show that reflects the vast genres seen at the yearly Rod Runs and Shades of the Past car shows. Autofest registration is open to the first 800 cars and by the looks of things last year, the lot fills up quick.

As in years past, this is an open event to all years, makes and models from classics, antiques, street rods, customs, originals and special interests. There will also be cars for sale, car vendors promoting their products, a swap meet, a craft sale, food, as well as shopping opportunities – basically something for everyone.
