A Feast Fit for a Lumberjack

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that promise both fun and food. So, when I heard about the Christmas Supper Show in Pigeon Forge, I knew it was a must-visit for my family. We arrived at 6:55 PM, just in time to dive into the all-you-can-eat buffet before the 8:00 PM show. The spread was a delightful mix of comfort foods: juicy BBQ pulled pork, creamy mac and cheese, savory baked beans, and a non-traditional coleslaw with a zesty twist of banana and green peppers. My kids, aged 12 and 9, were particularly thrilled with the lumberjack butter cream soda served in charming glass bottles. And let’s not forget the dessert—a piece of white cake with a cool-whipped vanilla icing and a hint of strawberry. It was the perfect sweet ending to our hearty meal.

The Show Must Go On

As the clock struck 7:30, we were ushered into the covered seating area, just in time for the show to begin. Despite a torrential downpour, complete with thunder and lightning, the show went on without a hitch. The lumberjacks and lumberjills were nothing short of spectacular, showcasing their skills in events like speed climbing, log rolling, and the ax throw. Uncle Bud, the emcee, kept the energy high and the audience engaged, even in the face of the storm. My family and I were grateful for the covered seating, which allowed us to enjoy the show without getting drenched. The performers’ dedication and professionalism were truly commendable, and their ability to entertain under such conditions was impressive.

A Night of Family Fun

The Christmas Supper Show was more than just a meal and a performance; it was an evening of laughter, excitement, and family bonding. The interactive nature of the show encouraged audience participation, with plenty of cheering, booing, and even a bit of friendly heckling. My kids were on the edge of their seats, eyes wide with wonder as they watched the lumberjacks compete. It was a refreshing reminder of the simple joys of good, clean family fun. As we left the venue, my son declared it “the best night ever,” and my daughter couldn’t stop talking about the lumberjills’ impressive feats. This experience was a perfect blend of entertainment and dining, making it a must-do for families visiting Pigeon Forge. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and memories that will last a lifetime.
