PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - Country singer Dolly Parton delighted hundreds of Tennessee Girl Scouts when she made a surprise entrance
at a ceremony to present them with a patch created in her honor.

Parton appeared on stage at the Pines Theatre in Pigeon Forge, where 400 Girl Scouts were receiving the new "Coat of Many
Colors" patch. It is named for Parton and her 1971 song of the same name.

Parton is a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts. She wore her own uniform, hugged and chatted with the girls on Saturday.

The song tells the story of how schoolmates made fun of a coat Parton's mother made from rags. The patch requires Scouts to help
others, then design a collage of what makes them special.

Parton told the girls, "A person can make money, but money can't make a person."

BAMABOB….I have tried to come up with a answer for you’re question and I can’t,so before I even speculate on this and embarrass myself,I will move on to something else !!

Just from seeing her give interviews on various television shows, it is very apparent she is a sweet and giving person.  But, I never have understood what keeps her from falling over face first.  gulp

I don’t live in TN.,but I do own a condo. in Gatlinburg and have spent some time there.Its not talked about much,but Dolly gives back a tremendous amount to the surrounding areas and most particularly children.She really is a kind and generous person.

Good to see Dolly still defying gravity after all these years!  cool hmm

I like her qoute “A Person can make money, but money can’t make a person”. If only more people could live by this.

What a beautiful coat!
