I was looking around Youtube last night at places to go ziplining and was shocked at what I saw!A nudist family going on a zip line tour? This can’t be! It appeared as though a family of four had ventured out to the resort city of Pigeon Forge, Tn. looking for a place to fly through the air, each one, “naked as a jaybird”!
As I began to watch, I kept trying to figure out “are they really naked”? In public?? OMG (I thought to myself) , what’s the world coming to? Upon further examination and writing the website owner I was relieved to discover it was just a way to promote their new Pigeon Forge area zip line tour in the Smoky Mountains. It turns out that all “private parts” were covered by more than just the “censored” signs and it was all just a marketing tool!
I guess sometimes it takes more than SEO, backlinks and the whole ball o’ wax to keep ahead of the competition and these young entrepreneurs will do whatever it takes!
If you happened to be around Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or Sevierville in March of this year, you might have joined in on the fun at the Corvette Expo held at the Sevierville Convention Center. If you happened to have missed it, not to worry because they are returning!
Coming up on October the 23rd at 10:00 am, Cooper Events and Thompson-Carr Auctions will be having another auction there at the convention center. The promoter of this event, Byron Cooper, says that at least 10 Corvettes will be auctioned off with no reserve price. This could be a great opportunity for anyone that has longed to own one of these legendary automobiles.
For only $10 you can have a day of fun watching these beauties being auctioned off and if you’ve never seen one of their auctions on TV they can be pretty fun. Just to get you excited I’ve posted a video that has pictures of the March, 2010 Corvette Expo held in Sevierville Tn.
While you’re in this area having a good time you might also want to make time to ride the new Sevierville zip line at Adventure Park at Five Oaks across from Tanger Mall at Five Oaks. This is a cool thing to do for people from 3 to 103 and believe me, the older folks are joining in on the fun! There was a lady celebrating her 90th birthday this year at the adventure park and she wasn’t there for the riding stables (which would have been impressive enough) but she actually did the zip line tour!
