Park Employee of the Year Named

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s 2004 Employee of the Year was named, and the honor goes to Scott Pardue, who is responsible for supervising staff that provide the visitors programs and ranger guided walks and talks at the North District area of the Park. “He also manages special events such as the Cosby Days in the Park and the Festival of Christmas Past….both long time favorites among our visitors and residents alike,” according to Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson. Congratulations Scott! You are one of the good reasons that our glorious Smoky Mountains are one of the most visited areas in the United States.
