October Sky Festival - Rocket Boys welcome!
October Sky Festival
& Coalwood School ReunionThe 10th Annual October Sky Festival will be held October 4, 2008, at Coalwood from 10 AM to 6 PM. Homer Hickam and the Rocket Boys will be present. There will be entertainment, food and children's activities. This family-oriented Festival will also host a COALWOOD SCHOOL REUNION. All former Coalwood "Robins" and "Tigers" are welcome!
Get more information at October Sky Festival.
And if you can't go, you might want to celebrate October by gathering your older kids to watch October Sky together, which I reviewed briefly in a series for Christian Parenting:
October Sky (1999 Universal PG) the true story of a coal miner's son whose longing for a brighter future is misunderstood by his father but nurtured by a teacher who introduces him to rocket science. Archetypal father/son issues, real-life family problems, sacrificial giving.
The book is great too!
Love,
