Though Pigeon Forge has many different attractions that could apply to a wide variety of individuals, my personal favorite characteristic of the town is the hospitality that the people in the town possess, whether it be workers in the town or tourists. Hospitality is a key factor in my familys decision in returning year after year. For instance, almost every restaurant I go to in Pigeon Forge has a waiter or waitress who not only gives amazing service to my family and I but also goes to great lengths to create friendly conversation with us about where were from, how weve enjoyed our stay, their own personal opinions of the town, etc. It is the courtesy and kindness that citizens of Pigeon Forge possess that I believe is a crucial factor in the towns success over the years.ACIS PowerPoint PresentationEaton 9 10.

I thought this assignment was tougher than I originallyanticipated. Although I did enjoy making it and am proud ofthe final draft, the different graphics and elements thatMicrosoft offers got confusing and frustrating at times. I hadnever had experience implementing speakernotes, sounds, pictures, SmartArt, tables, and graphs intoPowerPoint presentations. However, I feel that I have a bettermastery of PowerPoint than I did before this project and I feelmore confident in doing another project using PowerPoint inthe future because of the instructions I had to follow over thecourse of this assignment.ACIS PowerPoint PresentationEaton 12
