Drive over to Townsend Tn, a shortish drive from Pigeon Forge, and visit the Wood'n'Strings dulcimer shop. Tell Mike and Connie I sent you. If it happens to be on a saturday, you will get a free concert sat evening. Just bring a chair or blanket to sit on, and enjoy the show on the Pickin Porch.
Just a heads up, expect huge delays in getting anywhere, the traffic is heavy.
It's a wonderful area to visit, I'm about 1 1/2 hrs away.

If you go to Townsend, dip down to Cade's Cove in the National Park. Gorgeous scenery.
If you like amusement parks, Dollywood is pretty good. Lots of decent shows in addition to the rides, which include three decent roller coasters.
All in all, this area is just way too crowded for me, though.
