The Jacksonville Flower Market hosted “Dolly Parton Day” on Friday, with patrons donning their best dresses to celebrate the late country singer.<\/p>\n
The market, on Beach Boulevard near Southside, gave those who dressed like Dolly a free flower bouquet. As shoppers browsed themed flower arrangements, Dolly’s music played throughout the market.<\/p>\n
“‘Dolly Parton Day’ at Jacksonville Flower Market is an opportunity for the community to celebrate the life and legacy of the country music star,” market staff said in a news release<\/p>\n
Parton had a love for flowers. She wrote and performed songs titled “Wildflowers,” “Rose of My Heart,” and “Yellow Roses,” which topped the singles chart in 1989.<\/p>\n
“Following the passing of Dolly Parton, (we) wanted to create a way to honor Dolly that combined our experience of brightening someone’s day with flowers,” staff said in the release.<\/p>\n
