Dolly Parton

Flags in Ohio will be lowered to half-staff at all public buildings in honor of Dolly Parton, at the order of one of her best-known fans in Ohio.

Dolly Parton was the special guest at a luncheon held by Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine in Columbus Tuesday.

One free book, every month, until a child's fifth birthday — that's what Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine is promising Cuyahoga County children with the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library Program, announced Monday morning at the Warrensville Heights library. Every child under the age of 5 in Cuyahoga County can be enrolled in the program. There are about 75,000 eligible children in Cuyahoga County.
