In memory of 🦋 Dolly Parton 🦋....

Our fountain is glowing pink in memory of Dolly Parton and the incredible impact she has had on so many lives. 🩷🦋

One of Dolly Parton's most meaningful legacies is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which provides a free, age-appropriate book monthly to enrolled children ages 0-5. Register today at the link below and your child can receive a book in the mail each month until his/her fifth birthday.

When you purchase a slice of chocolate chess pie at Pie Safe Baking Company, 25% will be donated to our local Mooneyham Public Library in memory of Dolly Parton! What a wonderful way to remember Dolly!

Dolly was known to enjoy pie for her birthday, rather than cake. Her favorite pie was an old-fashioned chocolate chess pie. There are people who shape the very culture and fabric of their timeline. Dolly was one of those people. Dolly embodied what we feel was the epitome of southern charm, warm, inviting, generous, kind to all those around her, things we can all strive for ourselves. The positive impact she had on the world around her, will be felt and known for generations to come. Today we are honoring Dolly in the best way we know how, with a slice of chocolate chess pie with a healthy side of southern charm. 🥧 🩷🌸

This weekend we will also be donating 25% of our proceeds for every slice of chocolate chess pie sold, to our local library system to honor Dolly’s legacy.

It's and we are heading back to school! The Forest City Graded School (Rutherford County Schools, NC) opened in Fall of 1922. The contract for construction was in the amount of $74,700 with contractor J.P. Little & Son of Charlotte as the successful bidder. The building was designed by J.M. McMichael of Charlotte, who also designed First Baptist Church of Forest City, NC. The school was destroyed by fire in August 1964. (📷: Forgotten Rutherford County, NC)
