A unique example of holiday giving is now on display in Pigeon Forge.

Dollywood presented a special welcome gift to one of its new neighbors, the Pigeon Forge LeConte Center.

The park's master blacksmith created four hand-crafted fireplace screens to help decorate the new center. Each of the four screens took approximately 40 hours to complete and features the outline of the Great Smoky Mountains.

"It really makes me feel good that my work is out there and that people can come in here to the LeConte Center and enjoy it and see it. You know, see other projects that we do on park," said blacksmith John Fuller.

The fireplace screens measure 8 feet by 4 feet and weigh about 200 pounds.
