Pigeon Forge, Tenn., (Nov. 1, 2016) – At the “Hatfield and McCoy Christmas Disaster Dinner and Feud”™ in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., the bitter conflict between the two families continues as neither family stops their feudin’ for Christmas.
Back for a sixth season, The “Hatfield and McCoy Christmas Disaster Dinner and Feud” ™ kicked off Nov. 1 and runs every day until Jan. 3, 2017 at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. nightly, with occasional 2 p.m. matinees. The audience follows the lives of the two clashing mountain clans with their vibrant dancing, foot stomping music and a backwoods decorating contest!
“’Twas the Fight before Christmas’ and it is bigger and better than ever with a brand new set with multiple levels for added craziness,” said David Fee, president and chief executive officer of The Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group. “We have put $500,000 into our new set this year and we have feudin’ feastin’ holiday fun at ‘The Hatfield and McCoy Christmas Disaster Dinner and Feud’,” he said. “If you think your family fights during the holidays, come spend the holidays with the Hatfield and McCoys. It is a hilarious holiday disaster and things are bound to go wrong. Guests will be cheering for the Hatfields or the McCoys. We have lively new characters, plenty of new laughs and upbeat Christmas music. It is lots of good, clean, family Christmas fun!”
Unscrupulous Mayor Timothy O’Reilly (played by Tim Harkleroad) is plotting to steal the Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s land in order to build some time-share property. When the two families discover his plans they drop their feud and band together to get him to come to his senses. The Mayor’s encounter with the Ghost of Christmas past helps him to discover the true meaning of Christmas. Situations include a barn party, a Christmas lighting contest, and some ghost costumes!
