Exit 407 Flea Market Get Boost - Sevierville Tennessee - Sevierville brought in more industrial growthto the area, along with this growth is the need to expand the road lanes on Dumplin Valley Rd to 12 feet each way and add 4 foot gravel shoulders on each side.  This makes access to the Flea Market easier for Smoky Mountain visitors and deliveries.  There was no mention of placing a light at the intersection where Dumplin Valley Rd. and Hwy 66 intersect, but I am sure that will follow shortly, if it doesn’t happen before the road widening.

Christ In The Smokies- Gatlinburg Tennessee -  According to The Mountain Press, Christ In The Smokies will offer free admission during November and December.  Local residents are asked to bring nonperishable food items or a near new coat for the Sevier County Food Ministries.  For more information call (865)436-5155.

18 And Counting Makes 20

The mother of TLC’s “18 And Counting”, Mrs. Duggar, is expecting her 19th child.  One of their daughters has just had her baby.  So it looks like Pigeon Forge Tennessee will have even more reason to celebrate families when the Winterfest light switch is flipped by the Duggar family November 5th at Patriot Park.

Duggars Turn On The Lights For Pigeon Forge Winterfest

Pigeon Forge’s 20th Winterfest kickoff will be a family affair.  Pigeon Forge, known for its family fun atmosphere, will have the Duggar family return to flip the ceremonial light switch turning on over 5 million Winterfest lights on November 5th, 2009.

The Duggar family, stars of TLC television reality show ”18 Kids and Counting,” are a great match for Pigeon Forge.  Having watched their show, i’m always amazed at how the children work together as a team for the good of the family as a whole.  Sure no family is perfect, but families, business owners, and city-county officials can learn a lot about team work from their show.

  The IRS audits Grandpa ! The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney. The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.’ I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about a demonstration?’ The auditor thinks for a moment and said, ‘Okay. Go ahead.’ Grandpa says, ‘I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.’ The auditor thinks a moment and says, ‘It’s a bet.’ Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops. Grandpa says, ‘Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.’ Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous. ‘Want to go double or nothing?’ Grandpa asks ‘I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.’ The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again. Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands. ‘Are you okay?’ the auditor asks. ‘Not really,’ says the attorney. ‘This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and you’d be happy about it.’
