VP Debates near the Smokies?

September 27, 2008 7:55 PM

Where can I observe the vice-presidential debates next Thursday (10/2) near the Smokey Mountains (TN) or near Jonesborough (for the storytelling festival)?

I will be near the Cades Cove area of the park on the day/night of the debates and I'd really like to watch the debate. Are there any places that will be showing the debate to the public near there? (Places that serve beer or food are a plus, but not required at all.)

I might also end up being at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough that night, so if there is a location there that fits the bill please let me know. (I won't know where I will be until that evening.)

Finally what radio stations in either area will be airing the debate, if I can't make it to a TV?

Have you thought about watching from the internet? I know that many sites will be streaming it.

I did not actually, but I will not have a computer so that's out. And it looks like 91.9FM is an NPR station in the area so that will be my radio fall back.
