Dolly Parton Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, Dolly Partons story has been dominated by a deeply personal loss that will resonate in any future biography. Multiple outlets including Page Six, Fox 17 Nashville, Yahoo Entertainment, and the Daily Mail report that her older brother Coy “Denver” Parton died at age 82 in Sevierville, Tennessee, on July 23, with an obituary from Atchley Funeral Home confirming the details and noting that no cause of death has been made public. This follows the March 2025 death of her husband Carl Dean, also 82, and earlier losses of brothers David and Randy, marking an extraordinarily painful chapter of compounded grief in her later years. Reports note the family plans a private memorial, underscoring how Dolly continues to guard some aspects of her mourning from public view. From a long term biographical lens, this cluster of family deaths, combined with her own health struggles, is likely to frame the narrative of Dolly's eighties as an era of resilience under pressure. Page Six and The List recap that over the past year she has battled kidney stone complications and other issues serious enough to cancel her Las Vegas residency and even miss her 80th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry, despite publicly insisting she is “responding really well to meds and treatments” and “improving every day.” More speculative outlets like RadarOnline and NewsBreak claim she feels isolated at her Tennessee ranch and is “trapped” by health woes; these stories rely on unnamed “insiders” and should be treated as unconfirmed gossip rather than verified fact. On the business and public appearance front, Dolly is still very much in motion. Local Knoxville coverage and Dollywoods own advisories report that she is scheduled to appear at Dollywood on August 14 for the dedication of NightFlight Expedition, the parks most expensive ride to date, a first of its kind attraction that fits neatly into her broader legacy as a theme park and tourism mogul. In June, major outlets including The Washington Post and Fox 17 highlighted her surprise, physically fragile but smiling appearance at the grand opening of Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville, Tennessee, a new chain style travel stop that expands her brand from music and books into roadside hospitality. Creatively, The List and Broadway.com note she is producing “Dolly: A True Original Musical” for Broadway, slated to open later this year, a biographical stage work that will literally codify her life story in another medium and is likely to be a major long term pillar of how future generations encounter Dolly Parton. Social media from her business ventures continues to share upbeat posts tied to the truck stop and the musical, though her personal accounts have remained notably quiet on Coy's death, suggesting she is grieving off line even as the brand machine rolls on. That's the latest chapter in the life of Dolly Parton.

A shorter episode this week, and a special one: Project Purple at Six Flags Great Adventure finally has a name and a POV video, and it might be the strangest thing we have ever seen a roller coaster do. Bakunawa — named for the moon-eating sea serpent of Filipino mythology — launches riders 60 mph out of the station, sends them upside down into a vertical stall while launching them a second time, then blasts them up a 382-ft tower at 100mph with zero floor beneath the seats before doing the entire thing again backwards. Mike and EB break down the three separate launches, debate whether "more of everything" is actually a substitute for something new, and land on the one moment in the ride that they think makes it worth the drive. After the break, Dollywood finally locks in an opening date for the long-delayed NightFlight Expedition: August 19th, following pass-holder previews. The guys will talk through why this ride could be the best of 2026. And then the news that prompted this shorter episode in the first place, Mike and EB officially announce Coaster Radio is moving its release date after more than 20 years of Thursday nights — new episodes will now drop early Tuesday mornings, timed to catch weekend park news and midweek commutes.

Joey warned everyone that he was fasting for lab work and might get hangry. He woke up extra early and ate three gluten-free waffles, syrup, and a banana before 3:30am. Nancy finally watched the Idaho murders documentary on Netflix and was completely creeped out by it. The show talked about the recent Taco Bell lettuce scare and the confirmed cases of illness in Knox County. Nancy said she’d go back to Taco Bell immediately, just without lettuce, while Joey said he had already been back for a Crunchwrap Supreme. Hot Tea: Parker McCollum canceled a show because his wife went into labor and welcomed their second son. Bailey Zimmerman canceled his entire European tour to focus on family matters. Shania Twain said she would never remove Brad Pitt’s name from “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” but might add Harry Styles. Nashville now has a Morgan Wallen-themed Airbnb complete with a warning not to throw a chair off the balcony. Joey shared that wrestling with his 12-year-old son has become a reality check. He used to easily pin his boys down, but now they’re getting strong enough to make him work for it. Nerd News: A New York school paused plans for a humanoid robot teacher named Sally after parents learned the manufacturer also has ties to the adult companion robot industry. People claimed they found an alien missile on Mars, but NASA says it’s just a rock. Google Gemini is working on AI tools that remove “ums,” “likes,” and other filler words from dictated text. Lucky 7 for Dollywood tickets Nancy gave an update on her ankle injury after another doctor visit. The doctor now believes her pain could be a nerve-related condition and suggested it might actually be coming from how her brain is processing pain signals. Joey turned the conversation into jokes about shock therapy. A new Tennessee law now makes it easier to own a pet raccoon. Joey also highlighted new Tennessee laws allowing digital vehicle registrations, animal chiropractic care, and requiring more daily recess time for elementary school students. Nancy said her 13-year-old son couldn’t wait for tax-free weekend because it meant back-to-school shopping. Joey guessed her budget would be around $500, and Nancy hopes it will be less than that.

All three have teamed up for a special recording of the classic “Silver Threads and Golden Needles”. Originally recorded in 1956 by rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson and later championed by legends like Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn, the song has long stood as an anthem of strength and independence—now reimagined by three women honoring that enduring tradition. Award-winning singer-songwriter Lee Newton's latest project, the acoustic album ‘Beautifully Undone,' is available now. Featuring a collection of songs from across her career, the project presents each track in a more intimate acoustic setting, bringing the lyrics and emotion to the forefront while offering a fresh perspective on the songs fans already love.  Georgette Jones was born to Country Music legends and Hall of Fame couple, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Georgette has performed at the Opry, the Ryman and has toured across the US, Canada and overseas.  In addition to singing and songwriting, she is also an author. She co-wrote her biography, "The Three of Us", which was about her life growing up with her famous parents.  Georgette also acted in the TV series, "Sordid Lives" along side Leslie Jordan and Olivia Newton John as well as singing on the soundtrack.  Heidi Parton is the daughter of singer-songwriter and musician Randy Parton and the niece of Dolly Parton. Family connections have not only influenced Heidi's musical journey, they've presented opportunities. However, her individual talent, drive and determination have led to her growth as a performer. She began dancing in a Dollywood show at 13, became a featured vocalist at 15, and secured a spot as the headliner of her own show at Dollywood in 2024. #dollyparton #georgejones #tammywynette #lorettalynn #lorimorgan #pamtillis #ellalangley #taylorswift #countrymusic #countryradio #singersongwriter #dollywood 

Joey realized his scary 185 bpm gym heart rate was likely caused by mixing a new medication with lots of caffeine. The show talked about a professor who caught 32 of 35 students using AI to cheat by hiding the word "Madagascar" in the assignment instructions. Students turned in essays with random lines like "Madagascar floats sideways through the afternoon." Hot Tea: Megan Moroney got emotional after ending a Denver show early due to illness. A fake Morgan Wallen meet-and-greet scam reportedly cost fans thousands. Researchers are also raising money for marmot studies through an OnlyFans page called "OnlyMarms." Nancy is weirded out by physical therapy. The therapists aren't even fixing her old ankle injury, just strengthening everything around it. A Candy Land Café popup in San Diego had Nancy and Karly ready to book a flight. The attraction features life-size Candy Land locations, themed treats, and plenty of photo opportunities. Lucky 7 for Dollywood tickets. Joey, Nancy, and Karly held eulogies for Knoxville restaurants Denton's, The Plum Tree, and Myrtle's Chicken & Beer. They think Nancy belongs in a pulpit. What Makes You Special? I Run New2Knox Social Media and Events! A delivery company dropped off Karly's new bathtub beside her mailbox on the side of a major highway. The companies did not care when her mom called to complain. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joey, Nancy, and Karly spent the afternoon filming content with Tennessee football players and discovered Nancy gets very quiet when she's "peopled out" and needs a little time to recharge. Karly went several days without blinds in her new house and felt very exposed. She said it's a good thing she lives in the woods because her bathroom has a window. The show's bosses shared a little too much about their bathroom experiences yesterday. Plus, people online are supposedly trying to catch Cyclospora to lose weight. A new Shark Week special features a woman who claims she's in a relationship with a shark named Alan. She says she's spent thousands of dollars diving to see him and insists they share a special connection. Karly made her first-ever trip to Costco and hated it. Between the crowds, giant bulk purchases, and her family's three buggies, she was extremely overwhelmed with the whole experience. Hot Tea: The CEO of Cracker Barrel is stepping down after backlash over attempts to modernize the brand. Tom Cruise's daughter Suri is reportedly dropping "Cruise" from her name. An Iowa woman was arrested for DUI while driving a lawn mower. Joey shared an old photo from his frosted-tip days and talked about skipping his 25-year class reunion. Only 13 people showed up out of a class of 160, which made him feel even better about staying home. Lucky 7 for Dollywood tickets Nancy complained about being required to volunteer at middle school football concessions and receiving a three-page packet explaining how to properly sell hot dogs, snacks, and drinks. After hearing a dramatic reading of Luke Bryan's "Fish Hunt Golf Drink," Joey and Nancy performed spoken-word versions of Travis Tritt's "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman." McDonald's is testing clear bags designed for fans attending stadiums with clear-bag policies, making it easier to sneak in a value meal instead of paying stadium food prices.

Joey's car still randomly smells like stink bait from a fishing trip. Nancy got to experience it after Joey made her sniff the air vent when the car had been baking in the sun. Producer Karly was woken up by a phone call from the boss, Rich Bailey, on Saturday morning. She thought something was wrong at the station, but he was really calling to get help setting up Venmo for someone buying a WIVK shirt. Monday Morning Wake-Up Calls are back! Joey and Nancy called 7-year-old Karson to wake him up. Joey, Nancy, and Karly recapped Friday night's Neal McCoy concert at Country Tonite Theatre.

New fashion trend- fold over jeans that are designed to look unbuttoned and falling down. After hearing about people base jumping off Seattle's Space Needle, the show asked where listeners would trespass if they knew they wouldn't get arrested. Answers included underneath Dollywood roller coasters, Dolly Parton's rumored secret room, Graceland's upstairs, Ripley's Aquarium, and underneath Neyland Stadium. The show discussed Megan Moroney saying she's happily single during her Cloud Nine Tour but plans to get back into dating when it's over. That led to a conversation about the celebrity dating app Raya and how Karly should get on it. Lucky 7 for Dollywood tickets Joey and Nancy reacted to a viral video of a woman on a Carnival cruise scratching a foot fungus with a dining room fork. Carnival reportedly removed the utensil from service. Nancy said she may start bringing her own silverware everywhere she goes. Shockingly, Joey actually ate at a church potluck. He did admit that most of what he chose looked store bought. Nancy talked about her husband's idea to start raising cattle on their farm. After discussing fencing, feeding, and the fact that their kids would probably name the cows and refuse to eat them, she decided buying local beef sounds much easier. Morgan Wallen rolled his ankle during a show. Nancy shared all the rehab exercises she's learned while recovering from her own ankle injury and joked that Morgan should take notes.

Dolly Parton Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Dolly Parton may be largely out of sight right now, but she is anything but out of the news, and the past few days have quietly added some significant chapters to her ongoing story. On the business front, Dolly's name is moving a lot of money even as she personally stays close to home. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that Dollywood's resorts and the Splash Country water park have now gone fully cashless, part of a broader shift by Dolly Parton's company toward electronic payments across much of the Dollywood Parks and Resorts empire. According to the company's own information cited by the paper, guests at DreamMore Resort, HeartSong Lodge, and Splash Country must now use cards or mobile wallets, with cash-to-card kiosks provided for holdouts. While it might sound like a mundane operations tweak, for Dolly's biography this is another marker of her evolution from country singer to modern theme-park mogul, presiding over a sophisticated, tech-forward hospitality brand that will outlive any touring schedule she ever had. Philanthropy, always central to the Dolly story, also saw a fresh ripple. Blue Ridge Public Radio in North Carolina reports that Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has just reopened enrollment in numerous counties that had been forced to pause sign-ups due to funding limits. New state budget support means more children can again receive a free book every month from birth to age five. This is not flashy headline stuff, but in biographical terms it is enormous: it reinforces that, even in a period of reduced public appearances, Dolly's most lasting legacy may be the hundreds of millions of books, and the culture of reading, associated with her name. Meanwhile, the tabloid and celebrity press continue to circle around her health and reclusive lifestyle. RadarOnline and multiple celebrity outlets in the past week have amplified reports that the 80-year-old icon has been battling kidney stones and other ailments, allegedly leading to canceled engagements, including a rumored Las Vegas residency, and a near-total retreat to her 63-acre Willow Lake Plantation estate outside Nashville. Those details, often sourced to unnamed insiders, should be viewed as speculation rather than confirmed medical fact, but they fit with a broader, longer-running narrative from outlets like Daily Mail and entertainment blogs describing Dolly's Brentwood compound as both her sanctuary in grief after the 2025 death of her husband Carl Dean and now a kind of enforced refuge while she recovers and reassesses her public workload. No major, fully verified new statement from Dolly herself or her official team has surfaced in the last 24 hours, and there have been no confirmed new public appearances or performances announced. Concert listing services still show no traditional tour dates, only longer-range branded events like her Threads: My Songs in Symphony presentations later this year, underscoring that Dolly remains in a legacy, not a grind-it-out, phase of her career. In short, the last few days have been about infrastructure and impact more than image: a cashless pivot at her resorts, a renewed wave of children's books from the Imagination Library, and a swirl of largely unconfirmed health chatter around an aging but still fiercely influential legend.

In this episode of the Green Side Up Podcast, Jason and Jordan open with a fun recap of Dollywood—great landscaping, real shade, and a memorable potty-training moment—before announcing a new Tree Care Business Webinar series in partnership with SingleOps and Granum, running August through December. They then dig into how they price big work: Jason breaks down production-based estimating for commercial maintenance, including policing trashy sites and structuring man-hours, while Jordan walks through his daily-rate method and a real government bid for invasive plant removal, from OpenGov and pre-bid meetings to MOT, herbicide subs, and building in the right fudge factor. They wrap by teasing future content on autonomous Kress mowers and inviting listeners to catch them at the Landscape Show in Orlando. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

On this episode of J.E.T. Setting Divas, the ladies dive into different travel styles after hearing about a friend who went skydiving. Evette shares why she'd rather slow down and enjoy her vacation than repeat attractions she's already experienced, while Tina talks about her love for Dollywood and why it's always on her travel list. The Divas also discuss the excitement surrounding the new Universal Studios destination in Frisco, Texas.

Well, Anna sure is grumpy. She hates Cassius, and she's being mean to Britt! Plus, Jason is back, but he's in a bit of a funk himself. Maybe he and Danny will go to Dollywood, and he'll forget his troubles. Maybe Britt, and Liesl, and James should go to Dollywood too. Or Jason and Danny could go to Nixon Falls, buy The Tan-O and restore it. Wouldn't that be the best? Also, Portia was in labor for the length of a commercial break, so that was nice for her. Will she and Jordan be friends now? Anyone else hoping Portia will name the baby Isaiah? Meanwhile, Trina is celebrating, and Kai is learning more about Drew, who also seems grumpy. #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner  #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #freefallin #alanarkin #newgirl #lamornemorris #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #riplesliecharleson #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor #dutchbarnvodka #chadduell #rickygervaisrobot #colinfromaccounts #ripanthonygeary #johnoliver

Howdy y'all! Hunter and Brad recently had their first ever trip to Dollywood, they're here to talk attractions, shows, food and general impressions!

Six Flags Over Texas finally "drops the gate" on Tormenta: Rampaging Run, the massive new B&M dive coaster, and the early word is exactly what you'd hope: no rattle, great reviews. Mike and EB break down what a park gets right when a new ride opens with an entire refurbished plaza around it, and whether "biggest dive coaster yet" actually means anything anymore to hardcore enthusiasts who've done this exact ride four times already. Then it's a packed news round covering a genuinely incredible Universal exhibition at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia (with a Star Wars follow-up already announced for the park's 50th anniversary), Universal Orlando's new after-hours "Universal Nights" event at Epic Universe going head-to-head with Halloween Horror Nights, and Disneyland officially welcoming its one billionth guest. That last one gets the full Coaster Radio treatment: an "exclusive" behind-the-scenes report from the Billionth Guest Command Center, featuring the triumphant return of Disney Podcast Guy, whose live-streamed quest for billionth-guest glory ends about as well as you'd expect. After the break: a trip report from two listeners who flew from Houston to Atlanta for one last ride on Arie Force One before it's gone, plus fresh chatter about whether RMC floating the idea of relocating the coaster means anything (spoiler: not until someone signs a check). Then the second half of the show is all yours — this week's interactive topic asked listeners which park has changed the most, for better or worse, over the last 20 years, and the answers cover Disney California Adventure's total reinvention, Dollywood's coaster boom, Carowinds' rise from unknown local park to must-visit and Hersheypark's transformation into a real destination.

What's up, dudes? If you're looking for the ultimate Dolly Christmas special, her 1990 NBC holiday TV event “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home” is a heartwarming trip back to a simpler Christmas. CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder and I have a blast with this one! The special was made to coincide with the release of her new Christmas album. It follows Dolly from a charming Christmas store to a garland-filled Nashville recording studio in the middle of July—where she records holiday classics surrounded by enough tinsel, bows, and magnificent mullets to make any child of the ‘80s smile. From there, she heads home to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, reuniting with her family for playful sibling teasing, treasured childhood memories, and unforgettable performances of Christmas favorites including “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” “Deck the Halls,” “We Three Kings,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” It's classic Dolly: equal parts laughter, storytelling, heartfelt nostalgia, and sparkling holiday magic.As the special continues, Dolly visits a nursing home, takes children through Dollywood during Christmastime, shares touching stories about homemade gifts and family traditions, and celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with performances of “Little Drummer Boy,” “Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town,” “Joy to the World,” “The First Noel,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and a beautiful closing rendition of “Silent Night.” Watching today also offers a delightful time capsule of 1990 Christmas commercials, featuring Chevy, Kodak, McDonald's, Toys “R” Us, Tylenol, and other nostalgic favorites that instantly transport viewers back to the golden age of holiday television. Filled with faith, family, unforgettable music, and enough Christmas spirit to light up the Smoky Mountains, this is one Dolly Parton Christmas special that deserves a place on every retro holiday watchlist.One hundred year old carousel? Check. Wagon rides? Got it. Brothers teasing a sister's looks? Definitely! So grab your guitar, sing about the wisemen, and visit a nursing home with this episode on “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home!”Rose Suchak LadderIG: @rosesuchakladderpodGive us a buzz!

Dolly Parton Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Dolly Parton has had a surprisingly eventful few days, with developments that matter both to her health story and her long legacy as a businesswoman and philanthropist. E Online reports that Dolly used her first major public appearance in months to give fans a direct health update, saying she is “back to normal” after the private health issues that led her to step away from the spotlight and postpone shows, including her planned Las Vegas residency. According to AOL Entertainment, she is recovering after a string of health problems forced the delay of six Las Vegas dates, originally set for December 2025, underscoring that this period will be remembered in her biography as the time her touring career began to visibly adjust to age and health realities. OK Magazine and other entertainment outlets note that on June 24 she surprised fans by resurfacing in person, following weeks of concern over “ongoing health” challenges. Social clips circulating from that appearance show her looking frail but characteristically upbeat; however, commentary about her being “shaky” or “weak” onstage is largely speculative, coming from fans and gossip accounts rather than medical sources, and should be treated as unconfirmed opinion rather than fact. On the business front, Dolly just opened Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop in Tennessee, a new branded truck stop and travel center, and made a surprise appearance at the grand opening. Coverage from AOL and multiple social media reels highlight her playful jab at rival chain Buc-ee's, positioning her stop as a uniquely Dolly-flavored roadside destination. This move expands the Dollywood–merchandising–hospitality empire and is likely to be noted as a late-career business milestone, showing her continuing ambition at age 80. Philanthropy remains central. ABC3340 and KOSU report that Dolly posted a new video message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for a 2 million dollar donation to her Imagination Library, her book-gifting program for children 0 to 5. In the video, she says she is “blown away and overjoyed,” framing the gift as fuel for continuing to expand the literacy initiative, which now reaches nearly all counties in some states, including Oklahoma. That donation, and Dolly's gracious public response, will stand as an important marker in the ongoing story of Imagination Library's growth and her influence on the next generation of star philanthropists. On social media, Yahoo Entertainment notes that Dolly recently shared a rare Instagram post featuring her lookalike sister and plugged Fourth of July recipes from her cookbook “Good Lookin' Cookin',” a reminder that even amid health scrutiny, she carefully keeps her brand tied to family, food, and a warm, rural Southern aesthetic.

Nancy had a wild morning after hearing coyotes near her house and worrying about her dog, while Joey showed up to work frazzled—almost forgetting his shoes and eating cereal in the car. They talked about kids and social media, noting how easy it is for teens to bypass age restrictions—even with bans in place. East TN Translates returned with Nancy giving a humorous East Tennessee version of the Gettysburg Address. Joey shared a hilarious story about his mom mailing him fishing gear—including smelly bait, worm food, and “worm bedding”—revealing she had been raising her own worms. Hot Tea included the U.S. soccer coach wanting Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, and Ella Langley at a World Cup game, Kane Brown saying he connects more with athletes than other artists, and an 84-year-old man suing Waffle House after tripping outside while reading a sign. They reminded listeners about the Dollywood wristband stop, encouraging everyone to listen on the app for the secret location—and warning people not to try sneaky tricks to get extras. Nancy shared her first barrel racing lesson experience, realizing she was in a class full of kids and getting humbled—plus needing help getting her boot off afterward. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Restaurant Group Therapy focused on a listener whose boss dented her car and denied it—advice was to confront him privately first before escalating. Patriot Games gave away VIP tickets to Patriot Fest with a hilarious “bald eagle screech” challenge. They also discussed an update on the viral “dad in the women’s restroom” story, with the kids’ mom criticizing him for starting a GoFundMe and exposing their children online. Another “Forgotten Moment in U.S. History” featured a comedic take on Betsy Ross sewing the first flag while arguing with her husband. They wrapped up with what they learned, including Joey discovering his mom’s worm farming hobby and Nancy confirming she’ll keep working toward her rodeo comeback.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thankfully, the police, store manager, and most of the internet are all on the dad’s side. Nancy is very ashamed of how she treated her 13-year-old son, Ben, over the weekend. He was trying to be goofy, and she got very mad at him and used some harsh words. She realized that she had been tired and hangry when that happened and felt terrible about it.

Lucky 7 for $50 to The Diner at Twister’s Nancy and her family went to the movies over the weekend. Her and her husband were going to see Disclosure Day while her 13-year-old and his friend went to see Scary Movie 6. The movie workers wouldn’t let the kids see the movie without Nancy because it is rated R, so they had to go to Disclosure Day instead. Jiey told Nancy some of the things in Scary Movie 6 that made it rated R and she’s very glad that the workers didn’t let the boys stay in there. We’re having our first Community Crew event!
