A Day with Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival Chalk Artist

• Alex Lambert

Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival presented by Covenant Health is definitely in my top favorite festivals in the Smoky Mountain area. One awesome and impressive element during this time is Chalk Artistry by Jaimie Houser. Guests can catch Jaimie working away in the Adventures in Imagination area of the park (next to Dolly's Closet) on good-weather days during Flower & Food Festival. I spent a day with Jaimie capturing her creating the vibrant flower-scape below. This five-hour project has been condensed to less than two minutes!

Flowers and butterflies aren't Jaimie's only expertise. She has chalked an array of beautiful creations including The Dollywood Express and our beloved Robert F. Thomas Chapel.
