We're past the halfway point of Winterfest 2019-2020 and entering the "Valentine's Day" section of the season where the stillness of the Smokies naturally lines up with the holiday to produce a wonderful, quiet and dignified atmosphere that is what we all desire for our romance ambience. You could call it a match made in heaven by heaven.
