Violet's daughter is having a party for her tomorrow at 1PM. Her booth is right off the area where the mine restaurant is, headed towards the candy factory.

Wow, absolutely incredible! Well here is to 100!

I think Violet is the crafter who has been with the park the longest for the fall festival. She IS a living ARKANSAS LEGEND, and I have met her and spoken with her in the past. She won't be with us much longer, so if you have the chance I highly suggest you visit a bit with her and find out about her fiddle making.

Terry Sanders swapped hats with her and even gave her his wig.
