Friday: Cultural Offerings. Learn all about the Big Sandy Valley at the Big Sandy Heritage Center – "exhibits include Native American, pioneers, coal mining, Civil War, a tool collection and political corner,” says curator Everett Johnson. “We have more than 3,000 different exhibits of artifacts, photographs and documents.” A tour of the museum is self-guided, but Johnson will accompany groups if preferred. Later, catch a show at Artists Collaborative Theatre Inc. From musicals to comedies, this year’s line-up includes "The Wizard of Oz," "The Magic Well" and "Steel Magnolias."
