Legendary WRAL anchor Charlie Gaddy makes his television acting debut tomorrow in the locally produced "The Rusty Bucket Kids" television series.

"The Rusty Bucket Kids" is an educational entertainment program about two kids who travel back in history on a train called Steamy (The New Hope Valley Railway Steam Locomotive No. 17 and Caboose No. 308) and visit famous people of American history, who are still in their teenage years.

The show is produced in Apex, and the town also serves as the setting (the town in the show is called Peak City).

The feature film version of a children's television show filmed in Apex will be screened tonight as part of the town's Peak City Film Festival.

The "Rusty Bucket Kids Club" is an educational program about a group of kids who form an adventure club to explore their town, then find a magical portal which transports them back in time to meet famous figures from American history.

The beloved former WRAL anchor Charlie Gaddy makes an appearance on the program, as does WRAL's Mark Roberts. The show stars local young actors Roxanna and John Coleman Demers.
