From the days as Rebel Railroad to Silver Dollar City to what we now call it today, Dollywood continues to grow and become the premier destination of the southeast. It’s old enough to rent a car now and its still reinventing the way one has fun in the Smokies. So it’s no surprise that there will be a major special based on the theme park on the Hallmark Channel this Saturday! Special guest stars include Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus, Kenny Rogers and– Of course– Dolly herself. I’m sure there are other surprises in the show waiting for you and I, so I suppose we’ll have to tune in (Or DVR!) to find out!
The Hallmark Channel will be airing 25 years of Dollywood on Saturday, July the 3rd at 8:00 PM EST with a repeat showing at 11:00 PM EST. Go to the Hallmark Channel’s website for more information!

The King of Pop died one year ago on Friday and Hollywood Star Cars has his 1985 Mercedes 500 SEL that George Barris worked on in the building. If you’re a fan of pop culture or just like customized cars, you may want to check this out!
