Get to Know Me

Hi, I’m Tonya! I’m an East Tennessee teacher, creator, and lifelong fan of the Smoky Mountains. I created Big Fan Shirts for people who love Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, cabin trips, mountain memories, and everything that makes the Smokies special. From fun vacation shirts and nostalgic designs to bear safety merch and gifts for Smoky Mountain lovers, every item is created with a love for East Tennessee and the places that keep us coming back year after year. Thank you for shopping small and supporting a real person behind the designs!
