The 28th Annual Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge will have a new location for 2010, Dollywood’s Splash Country parking lot. After many years of being located at Smoky River Ranch in Pigeon Forge, show organizers have moved to this spacious paved parking area. This move will eliminate the mud and hopefully much of the dust that show participants have annually battled at the previous location.
With the move to this location, The Resort at Governor’s Crossing offers easy access to the Splash Country parking lot via Veterans Boulevard. The Resort is located 3.2 miles from the entrance of Dollywood & Splash Country. Don’t waste time being stuck in traffic, the third stop light after leaving The Resort puts you right at the entrance.
This year’s show will be held September 10th & 11th for all Rods, Customs, and Classic manufactured on or before 1972.
The Resort at Governor’s Crossing and Adventure Park at Five Oaks have entered into an agreement that will offer a free zip line tour for renting a condo at The Resort. The agreement offers one free tour when you present your current rental receipt and a photo ID matching the name on the receipt to the Adventure Park’s sales office.

The free zip line tour must be taken during the dates listed on the receipt. Guest is requested to call 865-453-8644 and set up a time for their tour to avoid long delays. Park hours are 9AM to 8PM weather permitting.
