Original Title: Dolly Parton recalls Dollywood opening day in theme park HOF induction

Health issues kept Dollywood's Dreamer-in-Chief from attending the theme parks Hall of Fame ceremony, but she shared thanks and fond memories on video Dolly Parton was at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida, in spirit, if not in person, to be named to the IAAPA Hall of Fame. The honor celebrates her role in creating and influencing Dollywood Parks & Resorts through her partnership with Herschend Family Entertainment. In a video thanking the organization for the recognition, Parton cited her recent health problems to explain why she couldn't attend. “Being inducted into the IAAPA Hall of Fame is a big, incredible way to help celebrate Dollywood’s 40th anniversary season. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this honor from me and from everyone who makes Dollywood what it is,” Parton said in the video, which played during the awards ceremony on Nov. The Hall of Fame honor came just one day after Parton received an honorary Oscar award for her humanitarian work. Devarrick Turner is a trending news reporter. Email [email protected].
