PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - The Duggar family from Arkansas - stars of the TLC reality show "18 Kids and Counting" - are visiting Pigeon Forge to tape segments for the show.
Mayor Keith Whaley invited the family to travel from their Springdale, Ark., home to enjoy Pigeon Forge and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Family members include Jim Bob and Michele Duggar and their 18 biological children, who range in age from 4 months to 21 years. Included are two sets of twins.
A TV production crew will record the Duggars' vacation, which includes riding on their own float in Friday's 24th annual Dolly Parton Homecoming Parade.
The City of Pigeon Forge organizes and sponsors the parade to salute Parton, who grew up in Sevier County.
The parade begins at 6 p.m. EDT.
