In case you haven’t heard, there was a devastating fire over the past couple days in Pigeon Forge, which is where our main retail store is located. All of us at Rocky Top Leather have been hoping and praying that our local fire department, and everyone involved, would remain safe until the fire was under control, and it seems as though our prayers have been answered. The fire is now reported to only be affecting 5 acres of land right now, and the local fire departments have all left the scene to just “let Mother Nature take its course”. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a long road to recovery ahead. Over 200 acres of land burned in total, along with over 30 rental cabins. This was the largest fire to ever hit Pigeon Forge in history, but luckily nobody was severely injured. We are also thankful that Mother Nature did have mercy, and she allowed it to rain earlier today. This, and the Black Hawk helicopters from the National Guard dropping huge buckets of water, definitely helped bring the blaze to an end. Everyone came together as a community to help, and over 4 different local fire departments participated in the roaring blaze as well as volunteers from over 25 fire departments. All of us at Rocky Top Leather just wanted to thank everyone involved in helping to put out the fires and let all of our local community know that our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that was affected by this horrible tragedy.

It’s that time of year again when all your favorite companies are starting to come out with the latest new fashions for the year. One you want to keep an eye on is definitely Corral boots. We have just recently added several new styles that are available for purchase now. These designs are some of the most beautiful we have seen yet from Corral, and there will be plenty more to come throughout the year. We are always updating with new styles, but for myself, my favorite are the new Distressed Black Sequin Inlay Corral Boots. They have a 13 inch distressed charcoal shaft and have a gorgeous black sequin inlay throughout the entire boot. These will definitely be a best seller in 2013, and I know I cannot wait until I get a pair. Be sure to check them all out, though, because there are a lot of new styles out that you are sure to love. Just visit our Corral boots category by clicking here, and use the image to navigate to all of the different types of women’s Corral boots we offer.

Shady Brady hats were recently put in the spotlight by Gold Bond, the company that is known for an assortment of medical ointments for your skin. The video features a cowgirl taking care of her horses while wearing a Shady Brady straw hat. This is typically how most Shady Brady hats are worn, out on the farm in the sun. They are perfect for keeping your head cool and the sun out of your eyes. Even though we are getting close to winter, that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t make a great gift to give someone for the upcoming holidays. They come in all different styles and sizes, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that fits whoever you are shopping for. Don’t wait until the last minute for the holiday rush, check out all the Shady Brady hats we offer today, and don’t forget to watch the commercial below!

In case you have been living under a rock and haven’t heard about Taylor Swift’s new album, “Red”, we thought we should fill you in. It has received 5 stars across the charts, and we are pretty sure you have already heard her #1 single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” if you have turned on the radio recently. You should know by now from her past 4 albums that this isn’t going to be the only hit on the album, though.

Taylor is also known for loving cowboy boots almost as much as all of us here at Rocky Top Leather. She has been seen in countless photo-shoots wearing the Corral Cut Out Cross Python Boots, and we don’t blame her because they are gorgeous cowboy boots. The crystals that are inside the cut-out crosses really make these boots stand out.

We also thought you might like to know about a contest that Taylor Swift is doing with Best Buy. You can win a free trip to see Taylor play live in concert, and then meet her in person afterwards! Chances like this do not come around often, so if you are a huge Taylor Swift fan, we suggest you enter to win this once-in-a-lifetime chance. What do you have to lose? Click here to visit Best Buy’s website in order to enter the contest. Good luck!

If you haven’t heard about one of television’s newest upcoming shows, then you are missing out! ‘Nashville’ is a show that follows a young country music star (Hayden Panettiere) rise in fame as a veteran in the industry slowly starts to lose her spot-light. The show will feature original country music songs, and that is what has lead to the show actually getting its own record deal with Big Machine Records. Most of the cast will perform different songs on the record and the famous producer T-Bone Burnett will be adding his professional touch to the album. As you can see in the image in this post, Hayden Panettiere is wearing a pair of the women’s Corral Angel Wing And Heart boots for the photo shoot to promote the premier of the show on October 10th. Get her look by heading on over to our women’s Corral cowboy boots and picking yourself up a pair!

Miranda Lambert is one of the biggest stars in country music today, but it wasn’t always that way. She spent years trying to get her foot in the door in the country music scene, but once she did, she never looked back. She recently release a new song and music video to go along with it that features Danika Patrick. The song is called “The Fastest Girl In Town”, and Danika Patrick is sporting a pair of Old Gringo Mini Belinda Boots! Miranda has a reputation for loving Old Gringo cowgirl boots ever since her and all her bridesmaids wore them at her wedding to Blake Shelton. It seems as though her sense of style may have rubbed off on Danika a little during this video shoot, and we absolutely love it! Those boots better strap their seat-belt on tight if they plan to stick around with Danika for awhile, though. Be sure to check out the video below so you can see the girls in action.

All of us here at Rocky Top Leather are Peyton Manning fans, and we are all so happy to see him back in action. Maybe this is because we are based in Tennessee, and this is where Peyton got his start. Even though it will take a little while seeing him in colors other than the Colts, we still love him and hope he has a great season. If you are also a Peyton fan, you can support him with a new pair of cowboy boots. How you ask? By slipping on a pair of the new University of Tennessee Gameday boots! Peyton got his start at the University of Tennessee, and that is where he became a star. He even actually took the Vols to a championship. So, be sure to keep your eye on Peyton this seeing, because he definitely isn’t out of the game just yet.
