🦋Dolly Parton has spent decades sharing her talents, lifting others up, and making a difference through her generosity, philanthropy, and love for her fans. From unforgettable music to inspiring millions through initiatives like the Imagination Library, her impact reaches far beyond the stage.

We're proud to have a small piece of that incredible story in our history, as Dolly performed at the Florida State Fair in 1971 alongside Porter Wagoner.

Today, we're celebrating a true icon whose influence has touched generations and whose legacy continues to shine as brightly as ever.

Thank you for the music, the memories, and the inspiration, Dolly.

💙📚 What a great day giving back to our community!

With the help of hundreds of community partners and volunteers, the event provides backpacks, school supplies, health services, and more to families across Tampa Bay.

☀️And of course, Sunny was excited to join in the fun!
