Old-fashioned country fair at the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center in Townsend. Focuses on livestock judging, old-time demonstrations, heritage crafts, the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet Toss, and traditional Appalachian fair culture. A smaller, more authentic fair experience on the Peaceful Side.
The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet Toss is the highlight - genuinely fun competition. The Heritage Center setting adds authentic Appalachian context. A smaller, more relaxed fair than Sevier County's.
