Last day of Wilderness Wildlife Week in Pigeon Forge

Sadly tomorrow is the last day of Wilderness Wildlife Week in Pigeon Forge but that doesn't mean there will a lack of great programs for everyone to enjoy.

You can search high and low but you won't find an educational and entertainment value anywhere better then the 19th annual Wilderness Wildlife Week in Pigeon Forge and next years 20th will be even bigger and better.

The biggest problem we are finding with Wilderness Wildlife Week is that is far too much to do and everyone coming here has been disappointed in the fact that they had to make difficult choices between all the great hikes and all of the great demonstrations and lectures.

The Information and Seminar Registration Table is open from 7:00 am - 10:00 pm and the last day of the Photo Exhibit and the Textiles of the Smokies exhibit is only open from 9:00 am - Noon and Photo Pick-up at Noon - 2:00 pm.
