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

"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.
Every night, Forrest Sanders brings us stories showcasing the best of humanity. This story profiles, perhaps, Tennessee's most eccentric resident who made an impact on an aspiring journalist. I'm always in awe of Forrest's storytelling; I truly appreciated his vulnerability with this one.
