There was a Gypsy Camp at Olentangy Park, first mentioned in 1907[1]. Queen Stella, the "genuine gypsy fortune teller," was only there for one year from Egypt and told "past, present and future, from cradle to grave." She spoke 14 different languages.[2] Dona Stevens, the new queen, was crowned on August 15, 1908.[3]
