Dress code is "Dolly Chic"— think rhinestones meets cocktail attire. We can't wait to show you a Dolly Good Time!

  • Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library provides books for free to children from birth until age 5. The largest chapter of this organization is based right here in middle TN, serving Davidson, Sumner and Williamson Counties. In order to give all of these books out, The Imagination Library of Middle TN must fundraise about $1.3 million dollars annually, and A Dolly Good Time is the only adult-attendance fund-and-friend-raiser to support the amazing work they do in promoting children’s literacy.

  • Wonderful! You can become a fiscal sponsor, a silent auction donor, a wine pull donor, or even share the event ticket info with your network to support the event.
