Which Pigeon Forge Show??

I had been planning to attend the F-100 Supernationals, but after some other recent post, I began to wonder which show the majority of the FTE folks would be attending.
When I checked the Pigeon Forge sites I found multiple events for 2010;
April 15-18 Spring Rod run
May 13-15 F100 Supernational and all Ford show
June 24-27 Great Smoky Mountain F100
Sept 10-11 Shades of the past rod run

So which show(s) are you planning to attend?

You can vote for multiple events.

I will be at the Smoky Mountain F-100 Run! Hands down the best truck show I have gone to in years. The Shades show is real good too but I can't make it this year. We will also be going to the Show Me F-100 show in Branson in July. I'll wait to see what comes of the "All Ford show" after it moves to Pigeon Forge.

Smokey Mts. in June for me, there is no camparison if you want a laid back enjoyable show and people that really love old Ford Trucks and enjoy meeting the folks that own them. The best time I have all year and the people that attend this show are the ones that make it the greatest, of course the guys that put this show on every year ain't bad either, thanks guys, Garry

That is the impression I was getting, but wondered how the larger than F1/F100 trucks are received. That 'All Ford' part of the Supernational is what attracted me since I have the F5 and a buddy of mine considered bringing his '29 Model A Tudor. Joe

I will be attending both the F100 Supernationals and the GSM F100 Run. I am going to the F100 Supernationals because my father and I will be completing a 10-year quest (taking both trucks to the F100 Supernationals). My father and I have been working on our trucks for over 10 years. Many of you have read my story about how I got into old ford truck –https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/864448-how-did-you-get-into-old-ford-trucks-5.html We both have 1955 F100s and am hoping he can compete for the “Truck of the Year” at the F100 Supernationals. <O</O

My father does not have a very flexible schedule and won’t be able to make the GSM F100 Run, but I will. It is the highlight of my summer!

I may ride up to PF for the Supernats just to get current catalogs, a t-shirt and to spectate. Probably just ride up there for the day and come home.

As far as driving the truck and entering, its the GSM show all the way. I can't wait to see all my new friends again.

I don't know if I will have mine together enough to get it there, but I'd like to try. I would really feel better if I had some other wheels for it (widowmakers) but since it is only about 100 miles from here I may drive it down anyhow.
This is not a show truck and probably never will be, but it is my toy and I plan to enjoy it.

I was planning on the Super Nats. but work has now interfered with that weekend. so, I think the GSM run sounds more doable.

Well I booked me a room for the F-100 Supernationals, would have loved to go to either show but would not be able to make the dates for the Smoky Mountain Run due to work. Looking forward to seeing some great trucks and spending some time at the swap meet and meeting some of the members from FTE . Just wish I had a driveable to drive to the show with.
