Dolly Parton and the President of Dollywood have given their support to an upcoming fundraising event in Listowel.
Dolly Day is a Guinness World record attempt which will take place in the town on June 24th.
The event aims to have the largest gathering of people dressed fully in Dolly Parton costumes, all in aid of The Kerry Hospice and Comfort for Chemo.
America’s Queen of Country has given the attempt her backing, and has donated two nights’ accommodation in her personal tour bus, with 5 star treatment, costing over $10,000, in support.
Meanwhile, Eugene Naughton, President of the Dollywood company - which is a theme park in Dolly's Home state of Tennesse - has backed the event and will be in attendance at Dolly Day next month.
