AM: Appears there was a bad fire on Ski Mountain Monday night
destroying a cabin. ALSO while updating Smoky Mountains

Gallery, Shop A Holler Primitives, Gatlinburg Family Crafts,
Smoky Mountain Mercantile, & Shabby Ewe. We are
working on some shops that have or are replacing these previous
shops (some have moved here from other locations) such as So
Very Cherry, Earthspeak

Metal Sculptures, CHRISTmas Eve Gifts and some have just
changed locations within the village...More ASAP.
