Imagine: You graduated from Jefferson County High School. You end up on The Bachelor. He likes you and comes to Jefferson County, TN. You take him to the rope swing at Black Oak and then go to El Sazon for supper. He’s impressed by all cows and backroads you take. You get a rose.
Imagine: you graduated from Sevier County High School. Years later, you end up on the bachelor. He likes you. He comes to Sevierville, TN. You take him to Dollywood to ride the wild eagle. You buy the hand made cinnamon bread. He’s impressed by the cinnamon bread. You get a rose.
