DENVER — Colorado is hosting a statewide party celebrating Dolly Parton and her legacy this weekend, and everyone’s invited.

The event made possible thanks to a partnership between Parton’s Imagination Library, the Governo’s Office and the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, will be just one of many planned for Dolly Day, the nationwide celebration of the late country music artist that takes place on Sept. 25.
At the “Colorado Loves Dolly!” event, fans can expect story time, Dolly-inspired art activities and opportunities for families to learn more about Dolly’s literacy legacy. The event will also include a playground, games, family-friendly live entertainment, bubbles and opportunities for children to express their love for Dolly through songs, letters, pictures and the creation of a butterfly fairyland, according to a news release.
