If you haven’t joined in any of the Natchez Literary and Cinema Celebration events yet, you’ve probably missed out.

But don’t sulk, the best is yet to come.

The annual NLCC — which received a Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts Thursday in Jackson — will continue today, Saturday and Sunday.

In our opinion, one of the highlights of this year’s event occurs later today.

Seven area coaches are the stars of the show at 8 p.m. when a documentary titled “Behind the Whistle: A Coach’s Story” is shared with the public.

The locally produced documentary will be shown at 8 p.m. at the Natchez Convention Center, for free.

Ken and Craig Beesley, Dee Faircloth, Melanie Hall, Johnny Lee Hoffpauir, Henry Harris and Lance Reed are all a part of the documentary.

The NLCC theme this year is “Fields of Dreams: Sports in the South,” and highlighting the local coaching legends is a great way to get the Natchez community involved.

Sessions start at 9 a.m. this morning and again on Saturday for those looking to gain even more knowledge and entertainment right here in town.

Rarely will you find such a quality event with so many free programs.

With a Governor’s Award in hand, the organizers of the NLCC have more proof than ever that their event is one not to be missed.
