Gatlinburg Tennessee Updated News
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.
Moon Shine Still In Gatlinburg
Yee Hah, thars shine in dem dar hills! Yepper there’s a working Gatlinburg moon shine still on its way in, Ole Smoky Distillery at Lineberger Plaza. The Gatlinburg City Commission will hold a meeting tonight to determine if they will grant “a certificate of good moral character” the last obstacle to getting a real working moonshine still and a Gatlinburg requirement for any establishment in Gatlinburg whose owners wish to sell alcoholic beverages.
The store will be divided into two parts, one area for visitors to enjoy watching the moonshine still in operation and purchase of souvenirs, books, and food. The second part is for adults wishing to purchase commemorative bottles of the still’smoonshine, which must be consumed off-premises. The owners hope to have both stores open by the end of May.
