Now in its sixth year, the Dolly Parton Look-Alike Contest returns Friday, Feb. 24 to Mable’s Smokehouse in Williamsburg. Gray flubbed the answer and was briefly eliminated. While she left the stage to “lick her wounds” in her husband's arms, the audience erupted in outrage at her ouster. Gray was brought back to compete in the final round, and went on to win. She took home a dozen roses, a tiara, a $250 gift certificate to Mable’s and bragging rights to the title, which she promptly splashed on her social media accounts.

She laughs at the idea that she won a prize for what she calls her “useless knowledge” about Parton. And yet, Gray said, she takes pride in being “a part of anything that would be a mere drop in the legacy that is Dolly Parton.”
