Smokyfest 2025
We just wrapped up our 34th annual Smokyfest in beautiful Pigeon Forge Tennessee right at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains National Park. We started the event on Monday, September 1st with our Welcome Party, hosted by Justin Waddell. His wife Jenn made beautiful centerpieces, which I was lucky enough to win one. The Board surprised me with a nice recognition for representing our Chapter in the National Newsletter Contest. I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group. Next year will be our 35th Convention & we would LOVE to have you all there. Details for the dates and hotel are in the process of negotiation and will be provided in an upcoming newsletter. We had a nice turnout with over 60 people in attendance. We plan on some more fun & surprises next year, with the possibility of another Pink Jeep Tour. Please consider joining us for all the fun, the collections, & the memories!
Thank you,

Club members braved the chilly temperatures on Sunday as Coca-Cola memorabilia enthusiasts searched for that special find. It was great to see so many members turn out to help and showcase their collections. Look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
