South Dayton remembers filming of "The Natural"

The community of South Dayton remembered a shining moment in its history...the 30th anniversary of the filming of "The Natural" over the weekend. Movie producers decided to do their final filming in the Cattaraugus County community rather than at a location in Iowa.  It was a big break for the village according to Larry Zollinger, who was the village's mayor at the time of the filming.
