The Rod Runs in Pigeon Forge are events to behold. Its not September until two back-to-back weekends are filled with classic cars parading down the street as the night sky is lit up with every hotel and headlight in the downtown area.
On the weekend of the 11th, the Shades of the Past Rod Run comes through at The Smoky River Ranch in Pigeon Forge, but you'll be seeing its presence for miles around. The Rod Run is ENORMOUS here in town and those who come to attend will pretty much party a good deal of the night away (just use excellent judgment when you do). The sidewalks will be lined with chairs, festive watchers, owners, gearheads and much much more.
Word of warning: Traffic will be INSANE and there is nothing you can do about it. Just get in early, find a reasonable spot and some comfort footwear and enjoy.
On the 18th is the Grand Rod Run which takes place at the Grand Hotel and Convention Center. This is the biggest one of the year and if you missed anyone the first week, its a good chance they stuck around for this one.
So what does this mean for you?
As a guest at Green Valley Motel in said Pigeon Forge, you barely even need to put your shoes on to be front row and center for much of the activity. You'll definitely need them if you decide to go up and down the sidewalks, but Green Valley's location is so prime and heart-center into the thick of things, that only the most minimal of effort is required to enjoy it the way everyone else would.
That means more rest for you, more overall enjoyment, less stress and so forth.
Choose Green Valley Motel for your Rod Run accomodations and you'll be thankful you did.
