Dolly loved Banana Pudding!

🎶 It’s 9/25… just like the song 9 to 5! 🎶

But tonight, we’re thinking about something a little sweeter! 🍌🍦

Stop by Hopper’s Poppers and treat yourself to a scoop (or two 😉) of our delicious Hershey’s Banana Pudding Ice Cream!

Because working 9 to 5 definitely deserves an ice cream reward! 💕🍦

Children across Person County, regardless of zip code or family income, have had the chance to open their mailbox and discover a new book from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Behind every book is a community of people who believe every child deserves the joy of reading. Smart Start works alongside local partners, state leaders, and generous donors to help make those monthly deliveries possible.

Celebrate Dolly's legacy by helping more children build home libraries, spark their imaginations, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
