Last month's PCM Magazine covered good portion of "DIXIE GAS" bash.
Is it fair to say "DIXIE GAS" is becoming a "popular" gas bash ?
From what I see, there were quality stuff there.
Thanks,
Henrik

I would say Dixie has ALWAYS been a popular bash.

It's been awhile since I've been able to attend, but I agree with Pat, Rick and John.

Besides the great show at Dixie Gas, during the week you have a large Street Rod Show with 5000 plus Hot Rods and Muscle cars. "The Strip" through town is lined with Motels packed with cars and many FOR SALE Signs. There are Go Cart Tracks, Water Slides, lots of Dinner-Entertainment Shows, and Dolly Wood Amusement Park that rivals Disney Land. Both the Spring and Fall Shows continue to grow. There is WAY MORE things to do there for a Family. Ed.

Good to hear about the show from Senior Veteran Members ...
1- I believe the show happens not too far from Piegon Forge where they have annual "Pedal Car Show".
2- Hopefully the Dixie Gas is a week apart so that I can cover both.
3-I sure would like to make it there so that I can enjoy the good'ol Southern Hospitality.

Pigeon Forge and Chips are just "spittin'" distance apart. Check online Chamber of Commerce Calendar. Should have all events listed for the year. Lots to do and see. Good "vittles!" Ed.

If you're in the area for Dixie Gas check out Floyd Garrett's muscle car museum in Sevierville which is a must see if you're a car guy. Also lots of touristy stuff to do in Pigeon Forge and nearby Gatlinburg, and some great food and live music. Did I mention great food? The Smoky Mountain National Park is nearby as well.
