Vicki Leach epitomizes the true Southern Woman, having been born and raised within a few miles of Stone Mountain Park. Before working for the Park, she was a kindergarten para-professional.
Becoming a widow at an early age, she was left with three children to raise. It was at this time she began working for Stone Mountain Park as a tour guide in the Plantation. During this time her “talent” was discovered and she began to paint for the Park. Her painting skills are refelcted in several areas of the Park.
Realizing the Park had a talented lady on their hands, she was asked to take on the role of Mrs. Martha Tweedle, the Candlemaker. After studying under skilled candlemakers at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO and Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN, Vicki loaned her new talents to Crossroads. After spending six years as the head candle maker, she has been appointed as the master candy maker in Candy's Corner Confectionary, inventing new recipes, perfecting the old ones, training several apprentices, as well as visiting with the guests and creating new memorable experiences for them with 25 years of candy making experience under her belt
She also is a church musician and can frequently be seen playing her bass fiddle with several other gifted musicians in the Park.
