Spring Grand Rod Run
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
This weekend the Spring Grand Rod Run is being held in Pigeon Forge with both hot rods, vintage cars, and trucks already lining the downtown streets and also cruising the parkway. I spent the morning with my wife downtown checking out some of the cars and have added a few pictures of some of my favorites.
With gas prices being way down from last year and the weather forecast looking good for this weekend it looks like we may have a very busy weekend. We have a few rooms left at The Resort, but they are filing up fast. Many people are finding Governors Crossing a great location as they can spend some time checking out the cars and still have easy access to Dollywood and the outlet malls for those ladies not into car shows.
