September, 2017 -- The Annual Pigeon Forge Fall Rod Run brought an estimated 30,000 car owners and spectators to this little town in the the Smokies to celebrate their passion for classic cars. This three day event, which was held at the Leconte Convention Center, wrapped up on Saturday, September 17, with awards being presented to the Top 25 entries, as well as special awards for the Ultimate Top 5.
