How will this affect my Christmas trip to Gatlinburg?
As a resident of Sevier County, we live literally 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg; I can tell you that you will have no problems here. Life is generally normal. Restaurants , malls and stores are wide open and the place is packed here. Most people wear masks in the stores and malls but it is not mandatory and it’s pretty much whatever you want to do and feel comfortable with. Sooo... come on down!
