The 13th annual October Sky Festival in Coalwood will be October 1. Thousands are expected to attend the annual festival in McDowell County, which celebrates the story of Homer Hickam and the other “Rocket Boys” of Coalwood, made famous in the Universal movie based on it, “October Sky.”
Hickam will be returning to his home town and will appear with some of the coal miners who appeared in Spike’s “Coal” series earlier this year.
