Our new e-WV entry is about storyteller extraordinaire, the "Belle of Doddridge County," Bonnie Collins (1915-2011). She was a fan favorite at fairs and festivals from the early 1970s to early 2000s. A homemaker, 4-H leader, and school cook, she was also on one of the first episodes of Mountain Stage, one of her four appearances. But she's best remembered as a longtime performer and judge at the Vandalia Gathering's Liars Contest.
