Three-hundred people have been selected by lottery to jump off the New River Gorge Bridge for this year's Bridge Day, 900 feet into the canyon.

Those selected this year represent 22 organizations from 13 states and one Canadian province.

The oldest rapeller this year will be 80 years old.

The state's largest one-day festival will be held on October 18.
