Violet Hensley's 97th Birthday

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.

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.
