Wilderness Wildlife Week Day 8 Schedule for Saturday, January 19 2013 in Pigeon Forge Smoky Mountains

Sadly, today is day 8 of Wilderness Wildlife Week, the last day of this awesome program taking place in the Pigeon Forge Great Smoky Mountains. While many roads are still closed in the Great Smoky Mountains national park cancelling many of today's guided hikes, there still promises to be a good time to be had by all here at the Music Road Hotel and convention center.

Today like all the others days of the Wilderness Wildlife Week will be filled with fun like the kids Safari, Music such as the Old Time Music Concert performed by the Boogertown Gap band, history as such as The Life of Tom Sparks as told by Larry Sparks, crafts such as basket making and of course the various photography classes being given today.
