In a surprising turn of events, the management of Pigeon Forge has officially announced the cancellation of Rod Run 2024, one of the most anticipated automotive events in the region. This decision has left car enthusiasts and local businesses alike in shock, with many questioning the motives behind such a drastic move.
officials have cited rising safety issues related to large gatherings. In recent years, Rod Run has experienced an increase in incidents, including accidents and crowd control challenges, leading to concerns about public safety during such a large event.
