Dollywood is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and we want to know your favorite memories and experiences at the park.

As part of a special section we are doing later this month, we will include our readers’ stories as they remember the good times they have had at Tennessee’s No. 1 tourist attraction. We also will welcome your photos as well.

The fun of a summer day, the first ride on the roller coaster, a family reunion, the Christmas lights, being part of a stage show, running into old friends, getting lost ­— these are the kinds of experiences many have had at Dollywood.

Send us your stories in these ways:

E-mail to editor@themountainpress.com

Drop the by our offices, Riverbend Drive across from TRW in Sevierville, weekdays between 8 and 5

Fax to 453-4913

Send through the mail to P.O. Box 4810, Sevierville 37864

Keep your submissions to around 250 words if you can. Make sure we know who’s in your photos. And include an address and phone number for verification.

Also, if you have been an employee for all 25 years, been a season ticket holder that long, or have ridden all the rides, we want to talk to you too.

Thanks. Call us at 428-0746, ext. 217, with questions.
