Saw this in the local fish wrapper today and thought some of you that visit Rock Castle may be interested.
Saturday night showing in Roanoke. Wish I was closer.
"The descendants of those families keep Rock Castle's history alive – and now "Rock Castle Home," a documentary film by Dr. Charles D. Thompson Jr., tells their story as well as that of the community."
"Rock Castle Home" will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday at The Grandin Theatre in Roanoke. The screening event also will feature music by The Hazy Mountain String Band. The film team will answer questions about the film after the showing."

>>>The first showing of the film was at the Floyd Country Store the week before. The film will be shown on Virginia public television stations in July, and before the screening, Thompson announced that
it will be shown nationally on PBS.

Old Mr Hubbard climbing up to see the old Chestnut log makes me ashamed when I realize how I huff and puff just walking the regular trail. :embarassed:
