Smoky Mountain Living - November/December 2017

Time-honored traditions exemplify the work of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. Our 12 Crafters for Christmas collection offers a variety of Christmas gifts that represent the legacy of handcraft. Plus: Gatlinburg, Tenn., reflects on the forest fires one year later; and Pigeon Forge gears up for year-round snow tubing.

Also: Shine made in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, hits the spot, yet homemade caramelized apple cider punch might punch the ticket for the rest of us. Syrup shines in Ashe County, North Carolina, and Georgia's Dillard House keeps family-style in style.
