Dolly Parton’s birthday is not still a countrywide holiday getaway, but that does not necessarily mean we can not rejoice Her Highness each and every January. Tennessee’s preferred songwriter, performer, humanitarian, manner icon, actor and businesswoman hits a new milestone next week — her 75th birthday. The Graduate Nashville hotel is celebrating her semisesquicentennial with gatherings in her honor. The festivities start out on Monday, Jan. 18, with a Dolly-themed balloon installation designed by Rock Paper Scissors, which will be on see all 7 days in the Graduate foyer.

This is exactly where you can also purchase very hot-pink glittery Dolly ornaments produced by local artist, set decorator and prop maker Emily Davis.
