Each year for the last 19 years, the cities of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville Tennessee have come together to put on what has become one of the regions most highly anticipated Huge Events, the Smoky Mountain Winterfest Celebration. Featuring Appalachian Music and bands of all types of Mountain Music, any American Folk Musician would want to be in the house to enjoy the festival in its entirety. For roughly about four months beginning in November and ending in February for the last 19 years the region literally “lights up” with a great selection of displays that include roadways, businesses and area attractions that are elaborately decorated with lighted displays. This years 19th Annual Smoky Mountain Winterfest Celebration kicked off November 6th, 2008 and will keep partying to it’s conclusion on February 28th, 2009.
Because this Festival will last over a four month period and takes place in such a large region, the number of events, happenings and things to do are literally endless. Since we’re currently at the peak of the season, which in and of itself holds some incredible can’t miss events, the focus of this piece is to highlight the single most can’t miss events taking place after the holiday season.
Wilderness Wildlife Weeks. First on our list is Wilderness Wildlife Weeks, which kicks off mid month and goes on for one week at a time. The event, as many of the series events that make up the all encompassing Smoky Mountain Winterfest Celebration. This event started innocently enough and on a small scale. Today, it’s larger than life and really is a lot of fun, even for those that aren’t the outdoor type. The main goal of the Wilderness Wildlife Week is very simple. To create an interactive event that attracts tourists to the region in contact with the beauty and majesty of the Smoky Mountains. This year’s Wilderness Wildlife Week is a real treat as it is considered the first official event for the calendar year that marks the seventy fifth Anniversary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
At face value, the event might seem mundane, because much of what is offered, if you were to look at a calendar of events, during Wilderness Wildlife Week are seminars, lectures and other tutorial type of engagements. The thing is that each seminar and lecture is interactive. Visitors are taken on tours and hikes by nature experts and see some of the most amazing sites you can see. This area of of the United States is truly one place that has not been touched by urban sprawl. Further, the Wilderness Wildlife Week is great for the whole family or large groups. Many of the individual lectures and seminars are geared toward the excitement and amusement of children. For example on Saturday of the third week, at the Music Road Hotel Convention Center, between 10:30am and 11:30am “Kids Track: Critters to You” features all types of living animals and exhibit and also, again on Saturday, between 1pm and 2pm, also at the Music Road Hotel Convention Center, “Through The Double Lenses: A 3-D Travel Adventure” will astound and thrill you.
Oh yeah, don’t forget to check out all the country and folk music while you are there. Be sure to call ahead to the event planning and reservations hotline as some of the best events of Wilderness Wildlife Weeks are available to only a limited number of participants.

Despite the predisposition to err on the side of conservatism and guaranteed box-office victory, London’s theatres especially discount London theatre still stage a wide range of plays by modern authors. Harold Pinter is known for his indistinct language and story lines; The Caretaker and The Homecoming, the latter set in north London, are two of his best-known plays. Plays by David Hare and Simon Gray are likely to be more accessible to non-theatre addicts; check National Theatre listings to see if they’re playing.
Alan Ayckbourn and Michael Frayn keep on to turn out genuinely entertaining farces; Absurd Person Singular and The Norman Conquests are two of Ayckhourn’s finest, Noises Off and Donkey’s Years are two of Frayn’s preeminent.

Event Ticket Buying Tips
Have you ever had a bad ticket experience when purchasing events to a show? Whether it’s through primary sources such as ticketmaster, or secondary sources that compromise various ticket brokers and street sellers, problems can arise. So here are a few tips to help ease the pain and frustration.
Since ticketmaster is the original source for most events, problems are minimal. When purchasing tickets through ticketmaster make sure that you have your credit card, and all of it’s billing address info ready. Ticketmaster is simple to use but because it runs on timers, you can sometimes lose your tickets if too much time is taken entering information! This is very important especially when the event has just gone onsale and 1 million other fans are trying to buy the same event.
