Coalwood --  The 11th Annual October Sky Festival will take over the McDowell County town of Coalwood this weekend. The event is in celebration of Homer Hickam and the rest of the Rocket Boys, now ten years after the release of the hit movie October Sky. And, this year's event is getting Hollywood's attention once again. Actress Natalie Canerday is in the Mountain State to attend. She played Elsie Hickam in the movie.

Canerday will be on hand at halftime at the last Iaeger versus Big Creek football game before the two schools consolidate. The October Sky festival will get started at 10 a.m. Saturday in Coalwood and will wrap up at 6 p.m.
