Folks, seems Gatlinburg is kicking over some new logs and coming up with some inviting things.

Gatlinburg is the first in the area to legally sell moonshine,  the moonshine still is open for operation and seems to be drumming up a lot of fan fare among locals and visitors to the Smoky Mountains alike.

The Gatlinburg Farmers Market is another big hit.  Local farm produce is making its way back into Gatlinburg and it seems most everything sells fast.  Located on Highway 321, Alamo Steak House parking lot, the Gatlinburg Farmers market operates each Saturday, 8a.m. to 11:30a.m.,  into November.  Visitors can purchase locally produced eggs, produce, soaps, herbs, potted plants, and other garden related items.

Appearances mean a lot, Gatlinburg knows how important it is to the scenery when strands of unsightly wires were removed and placed underground over the past few years.  In an effort to continue moving wires underground, Gatlinburg has funded the next phase of that move.  This works well with the fact Gatlinburg has spent the last few years on GreenWay projects and dedicated itself to becoming the example in ”green” projects.
