How downtown Sevierville wants to preserve Dolly Parton’s legacy
SEVIERVILLE — Near the entrance of The Pines Downtown, local kids play snookball, an odd combination of soccer and pool. They try their best to keep the ball from bouncing off the building’s windows. Off to one side, visitors eat and lounge on couches and wood-backed chairs while playing old school board games and watching TV. In the back, adults can grab a drink at the bar while other patrons roll balls down the lanes of duckpin bowling — a slightly-awkward but fun middle-child to classic bowling and skee-ball. Up top sits a loft where wedding rehearsal guests can make a toast to the bride and groom to-be. “What we try to do is create just a really good vibe that people want to come hang out, eat a little bit, drink a little bit, hang out with their friends and just have a good time,” said Christine Granduke, general manager at The Pines. But it wasn’t always a place for local hangouts and birthday parties. In 1944, the building now known as The Pines Downtown opened as The Pines Theater. The 700-seat theater ran Western films by day and showcased local music talent by night. It also gave a

10 years after wildfires hit Gatlinburg, the generosity of ‘saint’ Dolly Parton is not forgotten
SEVIER COUNTY — When her hometown faced devastation, Dolly Parton stepped up. In November 2016, wildfire spread across Gatlinburg, a community in Sevier County known for attracting tourists in droves due in part to its proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Dollywood, Parton’s popular theme park in nearby Pigeon Forge. The fires caused 14 deaths and left over 200 injured in Gatlinburg, a city of roughly 14,000 residents at the time. The flames burned more than 15 square miles of land inside the national park and destroyed more than 2,000 buildings in the area. In response, Parton’s non-profit organization The Dollywood Foundation launched the “My People Fund,” providing immediate financial assistance to affected families. More than $12 million was distributed, according to the foundation. The move was one in a legacy of giving for Parton, a Sevier County native who took care of her hometown by creating accessible healthcare, increasing literacy through her global Imagination Library initiative and — in 2016 — giving back to those facing a time of need. “This is where I drew my first breath,” Parton told Knox News in 2023. “So, of course, this would be where I would want to do
