According to the legend, a tired and hungry out-of-state traveler came upon a humble mountain cabin and found the owner sitting in the doorway, playing an old fiddle. The traveler stopped and asked the man why he only played the first part of the same old tune over and over. The fiddler replied that he didn't know the rest. taking the fiddle, the traveler played the rest of the tune. The fiddler was so happy that he invited the traveler to share in the comforts of his home and to stay for as long as he wanted. Like the fiddler of this story, we want the recipient of this Arkansas Traveler to enjoy our state, to have a nice long visit, and always say nice things about the state of Arkansas.
