NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dolly Parton, the beloved music and film star known for her vibrant personality and poignant songwriting, has died. She was 80 years old. Her career spanned decades, with hits like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” Born in Tennessee, she rose from humble beginnings to become a country music icon. Her partnership with Porter Wagoner helped launch her career, and she later became a successful actor and businesswoman. Parton was also a philanthropist, founding her Imagination Library to promote children’s literacy. Her charm and humor made her a beloved figure across generations and political divides.

Happy Toby Keith Day.

Oklahoma will always remember and celebrate the legacy of Toby Keith.

Today, July 8th, we recognize Toby Keith Day in Oklahoma and honor a true Oklahoma icon whose music, patriotism, and generosity touched millions of lives. I was proud to sign a proclamation recognizing this day and celebrating the lasting impact Toby made on our state and our nation.

Toby never forgot where he came from. From his Oklahoma roots to stages around the world, he represented our state with pride and carried the values we hold dear everywhere he went.

His legacy will continue to inspire generations of Oklahomans, and we will always be grateful for the mark he left on the Sooner State and beyond.

Southwest Oklahoma has always been a community that takes care of its neighbors. As we approach the July 4th holiday, now is the perfect time to give back in a way that can save lives.
The blood donated before the holiday is what helps keep hospital shelves stocked during the holiday weekend, when the need for blood doesn't take time off.
If you're able, please consider donating blood and helping ensure local patients have access to the lifesaving blood products they need.
To find a donation location near you, visit OBI.org or call 877-340-8777.
Thank you for helping make our community stronger, healthier, and safer for everyone. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
