Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts

All through this month we've been reminiscing about the past twenty years of bringing you stories on TNCR. Since it is impossible for me to put my favorite moments and places into one segment, here's what I'm doing to mark the occasion. A series of getaways using pieces of stories from the past 20 years. And we start with a few of my favorite stops in Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains.

Joe Elmore has been the host of this Emmy-award winning series since its beginnings. As the face of Tennessee Crossroads, Joe has been taking viewers to meet interesting people and explore fascinating out-of-the-way places since 1987. Joe is also a producer and co-host of Horsepower TV on Spike TV. Joe launched his TV career at WHBQ TV in Memphis, TN, where he served as weekend anchor and reporter. Later, he was chosen to co-host the station's PM Magazine show, where he produced nationally-broadcast stories. He has also done extensive work as an independent film and video producer for clients throughout the Southeast.
