It might just be a small Tennessee town, but they certainly go big with their practical jokes!

Dolly Parton‘s Smoky Mountain home is one of the most beautiful parts of the state – and with someone as big as Dolly attached to the town, they certainly draw a lot of attention for only having 5,800 residents!
