End location: Fireworks! Probably near or on a bridge
This ride is inspired by the new song “Son of Jolene” by Belles and Dolly Parton. It’s also inspired by who Dolly is and what she has done for the world. We won’t be playing covers of Jolene all night, we’re gonna go ALL THE WAY BACK to Hello, I’m Dolly and move through the years. We’ll hear songs she wrote but was made a hit by someone else, like Skeeter Davis or Whitney Houston. Even songs she loaned her voice to, like Sabrina Carpenters “please please please” and yes, even Beyoncés Jolene cover. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has provided books to children for free in at least FIVE countries! We will be visiting a few Little Free Libraries and I’d like to encourage you to bring books to donate! I’ll be bringing along a handful of kids books myself, including copies of my most favourite book, The Phantom Tollbooth. Ending the evening with fireworks feels like a chefs kiss for celebrating a woman who has done so much for so many. Stay tuned, this could become a series!
