In order to broaden the horizons of our young children, sixth graders from Calhoun County attended a live performance of the show “Footloose” at Cliffside Amphitheater near Beckley.

They also toured the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine and took a walking tour of Tamarack, and were treated to a gourmet lunch.

While the kids were thrilled by the dark and sinister feel of the coal mine and awed by the crafts at Tamarack, the general consensus of the children was that the live play of Footloose was, “Maybe it would have been better in 3-D.”    April Fool’s
