Big Hair, Bigger Hearts: A Dolly Parton Storytelling Night for the Imagination Library

📅 September 25, 2026 | 7:00–10:00 PM
📍 Old Haywood Filling Station, 5664 Old Haywood Road, Mills River, NC
🎟️ $28 per ticket (non-refundable)

Making friends as an adult is hard — and most "women's events" don't actually make it easier. This one is built differently.

Hour One (7–8pm): Arrival, cash bar, and zero pressure. A Dolly-themed Mad Lib board gives you something to do with your hands while the room settles around you. No name tags, no forced small talk.

Hour Two (8–9pm): Small-group storytelling rounds with real themes, announced in advance so nobody's caught off guard. This is where strangers start turning into people you actually remember.

Hour Three (9–10pm): Best Dolly Outfit contest, plus a live raffle drawing tied to how much we raised that night for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library — $10 of every ticket goes straight there.

Joining us: Miranda Lynn (author, running the Imagination Library raffle station), Krystal Kay Jones of Alpine Glow & Wellness, and Andrea Giannini of Mercy of Light Photography.

This event is hosted through Asheville Women Who Wine and Hendersonville Women Who Wine — communities built around real, drama-free connection. We're capping this one small on purpose.

Dress up in your best Dolly. Or don't. Either way, come ready to leave with people you actually remember.
