Crater Celebrates John Huddleston Heritage Day on August 4

If you are a fan of the programs on the History Channel, then you should join us at the Crater of Diamonds State Park on Saturday, August 4 from 1 to 4 p.m.  We are presenting a program with speakers who will talk about various aspects of diamond mine history.  Because this year is the 40^th anniversary of the state park, Jim Cannon, park superintendent from 1973 to 1991, will reminisce about early park diamond finders and events. The program, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the visitor center theater.  So, join us for a cool afternoon of diamond mine stories on a hot August day.
