NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Friday was a special day and a little cold air wasn't going to keep the fans away.

Dolly Parton celebrated another trip around the sun and fans came from all over to soak in all things Dolly this past weekend.

In fact, there was a birthday card for people to sign at the Ryman Auditorium and the Opry House. This was not just any birthday card, though. It took up almost an entire table.

You can see the card in the video player and photo above.

"We put 'Texas loves ya big!' Love the Korzekwa family," said Cassi Korzekwa from Texas.

One couple told NewsChannel 5 they were celebrating their anniversary weekend in Music City.

"Dolly brought us here," they said.

Artists performed some of Dolly's top hits, and there were many Dolly-themed events planned as well.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
