The Dolly Days are far from over, they haven’t even begun. Local nonprofit Signal Centers — who serves as the community partner for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — is celebrating the Tennessee singer’s birthday with a week-long celebration.
Beginning Monday, Jan. 13 through Sunday, Jan. 19, families can download the official Dolly Days passport and travel around to collect stamps + the chance to win an iPad.
All you have to do is participate in at least four of the activities:
- Grab a Cup of Ambition — we prefer ours with two scoops — at Clumpie’s Ice Cream Co.'s Southside (Jan. 13-19) or NorthShore (Jan. 16-19) stores.
- Head to the Chattanooga Public Library’s Dolly Days celebrations at all branches.
- Dine at Texas Roadhouse (Hixson or Hamilton Place locations) on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
- Sit in for the Soddy Daisy Community Library’s storytimes on Wednesday, Jan. 15 (at SDCL) or Sunday, Jan. 19 (at Lickin’ Good Donuts).
- Register for the Imagination Library — required stamp for the prize.
- Attend the UTC vs. Mercer women’s basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 18.
Once you complete your passport, you can drop it off at any of the participating locations — filling out all destinations gets you an extra entry.
Bonus: There’s even more ways to celebrate the singer throughout the Scenic City.
- Creative Discovery Museum’s Dolly Day on Saturday, Jan. 11
