Through the Dollywood Foundation, Dolly Parton covered 100% of tuition, fees, and books for employees of Herschend Enterprises and Dollywood pursuing higher education.

One of my favourite Dolly Parton stories. Chatting to one of her employees one day, she asked why he’d decided to work at Dollywood. To fund his education, he said. She immediately paid 100% of his college fees & then offered the same deal to all 11,000 employees.

I'm excited for Herschend Senior Resort.
You’ve heard of Disney Adults; now get ready for UNIVERSAL Kids.

Dollywood is a beautiful park that is fraught with an identity crisis between Herschend Americana theme park and country western music exhibition. The amount of seniors there by themselves was shocking.

But it was also a busy, school group filled day.

This is definitely a kneejerk to the Six Flags merger, but a good one. Lake Compounce, Dutch Wonderland, Kennywood are all great additions to the Herschend portfolio. Huge history, and they love that and will excel showcasing these small parks.

Thankful there's still one RMC woodie at a Herschend park.
