Dollywood

The country watched with heavy hearts as the Tennessee wildfires claimed the lives of 14 people, burning over 2,400 homes and businesses to the ground. Residents returned to find they no longer had a home, but they also found out that Dolly Parton put a plan in motion to help take care of her Tennessee neighbors. Parton established the “My People Fund,” pledging to donate $1,000 a month for six months to families who lost their homes to the fires. The country singer also setup the “Smoky Mountains

Traveling in Tennessee The state of Tn has much to offer. There is so much entertainment and fun things to do that getting bored is not an option. From malls to parks the fun never ends. Places such as Dollywood and Dollywood Splash Country, Ripley’s Aquarium and the Knoxville Zoo, are just the beginning. Between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg alone there are places on the road to stop and always have a good time, racing at a nascar go-kart raceway to laser tag. Finding something to do is just as easy

The vibe of the whole place was like the country, yet we were in the city. Although Dollywood was exhilarating; Gatlinburg was a close second. Gatlinburg is really where the city yet country atmosphere comes into play. We started our journey passing through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and let me just tell you, it was astonishing

strange looks, as if I was some sort of alien to them. Of course, my clothes were quite dirty, and I did have a gashing scar on my right leg. The most painful is the feeling of loneliness that aches in every bone of my body. My first stop was Dollywood, a Dolly Parton themed theme park. This seems like an unwise decision just to walk around a theme park looking for my family. On the other hand, I know that my family loves fun places and are rarely ever at home. For the first hour, I found no sign

Pigeon Forge My favorite place to visit is Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. There are so many fun and exciting places to visit and beautiful sites to see. Pigeon Forge is famous for the Dollywood Amusement Park. Here a person can ride a fast dropping roller coaster that makes them feel like a soaring eagle or they can brave the rapids on a water raft. If death defying rides are too much to handle, then visit one of the many comedy shows the town has to offer. The comedy shows are full of side splitting

I interviewed Darlene and her caregiver Kristen. Darlene is around 60 years old and is developmental and intellectually delayed with a mental age of around 6 years old. She never really had an educational experiences because she was pulled out early on due to her disabilities. Her brother, Sister – in – law and a couple other family members still lives in Virginia. Darlene attends “school” during the day and she has a job there as a greeter in which she makes sure people signs in. She works and

It had been one scorching hot summer when the temperatures were record breaking. Everyone was dying for water and air conditioning, people were having heart strokes, getting over heated and being rushed to the hospital. This place was Nashville, Tennessee, where country music is all you hear and they all wear jeans, button down shirts with boots and act the heat is no big deal. Tennessee is the homegrown town for country music and artists. Where you can have a fun time and relax. When I was about

laughing for some odd reason. Little did we know that the pool was filled with some crazy stuff, it took all but two minutes to figure out what it was, and it was some type of chemical that made you laugh hysterically! Later that week we went to Dollywood

One claimed to watch a building to burn completely down right in front of their eyes. Guests from the Dollywood resort were evacuated as flames approached the area, yet the property hasn't suffered any damage. Winds are now racing at 80 mph and debris have taken over the fresh air. Looking out into the distance, fire is everywhere we look. Roads are now closed
