A historic mule team in the Smoky Mountains is celebrating 50 years of service to the region, a testament to mountain heritage and tradition. It's a pleasant day in Almond with clear skies and good air quality, though expect some fog and a high near 88 degrees. If you're looking for entertainment this weekend, catch The Lettermen at Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts or head over to see Gladys Knight at Harrah's Cherokee.
