Day 4 of Wilderness Wildlife Week 2014 Schedule in Pigeon Forge Tennessee

Yesterday Wilderness Wildlife Week in Pigeon Forge was a lot of fun and today the 4th day of the show should be as well. The only disappointment was the cancelled outdoor activities specially the guided hikes in the Great Smoky Mountain national park.

Those that did get out took some spectacular pictures which I was shown last night and many will have to opportunity to go out again today as more roads have reopened, though up to an inch more of snow may fall today as well.

One of the programs I missed which was a bog hit yesterday was teaching you how to make a better habitat in your garden for wildlife. I also got to see people wearing the Wilderness Wildlife Week bandanas they made earlier in the morning.

The hot Wilderness Wildlife Week programs taking place today are the Art of Dowsing which has been fun every year and it seems to work! Also Basic Photography with Jim Eastin, How to Interview a Tree by Flo Moore and Tennessee's Birds of Prey presented by David Haggard.

Boogertown Gap will have another program this afternoon you won't want to miss and I beg all of you to be sure to catch former park range Kim Delozier present Bears, Boars and Bulls: A Wild Life in the Smokies.

Let's hope the weather cooperates for you hikers and though more cold weather will follow this week, the next 3 days there should be no more snow.
