Our community means so much to us!!! ❤️🌄🏘️

2 years ago, we received numerous calls and emails checking in on the status of our beloved historic Theatre. We came through, practically unscathed, with minimal rain water intrusion. Within days the venue was completely dried out and we were ready to host films and events.

While schools were closed, our “free film screening” program, originally piloted by Allen Wealth Management, was refined and expanded as businesses throughout the area began sponsoring free films for our community.

That program continues today as individuals and businesses support our nonprofit theatre and provide free admission as film sponsors.

Considering the devastation so many encountered, we count ourselves blessed and share our support and prayers for those who continue to recover.

Make sure to go and visit our friends at the Cardinal today 🫶🏼 A portion of the proceeds will be going to The Children's Council of Watauga County, Inc. Just like Dolly would’ve wanted!

On this beautiful day, we remember the extraordinary light she brought to the arts and to so many lives. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations, and remind us to always spread kindness.

As songwriters gather in these mountains this weekend to share their stories, songs, and the gift of creativity, we’ll be thinking of you, Dolly💗🦋

Today, 9/25, is Officially Dolly Parton Day. 🦋

We asked ourselves, “what would Dolly do?”

In honor of Dolly Parton’s remarkable legacy of caring for communities and children’s education, we will be donating a portion of our proceeds today to The Children's Council Watauga

We sure can’t fill the shoes that Dolly Parton left behind, but we can all choose to be the light for each other in the small acts of kindness we do. Love each other and Stay With It!

We love you, Dolly. 🦋❤️🌈
