My favorite Gatlinburg event is just around the corner - the 6^th annual Ribfest and Wings!!! It is a day made for over eating, entertainment and for men to claim the title of “THE MAN” by not crying from the hottest sauce you have ever tasted (Death by Wings) or win the hot wing eating contest! I have noticed that the men seem to get an exceptional amount of dust in their eyes though? I’m just givin’ em’ a hard time.
This event has something for everyone -  a $10.00 armband gets you a pass to free-for-all sampling or you can purchase wings and ribs individually, the bands are rockin’ with Marshall Tucker Band (Southern Rock) and The Beat Daddys (cool cats, soulful rock-n-roll blues) and the kids? They are covered too - face painting and balloon animals.
I highly recommend you make it to traffic light #3 (across from Hard Rock Café ) on Thursday, April 19^th from 4 – 9 PM. After the event ends enjoy some of Gatlinburg’s nightlife. If you need a cold one to get rid of the pain go to Hard Rock Café, TGI Friday’s or Crawdaddy’s and if you need to work off the food go dancing at Blaine’s Bar and Grill, but anywhere you go “Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!” ( Let the good times roll!)
