Winterfest started 29 years ago in Pigeon Forge as a way to boost the local economy and celebrate the holidays. Mayor David Wear explains to Michele Silva how it kept people in town... working,  and businesses open year round. Mayor Wear shares all the fun there is planned to kick off this special time of year in Sevier County, and other events ahead this winter. We also chat about his family, his personal life, the wildfires, Dolly Parton, charity, and much more!
