Marfa has a special guest in town for the next few weeks -- actor Kevin Bacon.

Bacon and his crew are filming a pilot show in the small town and took a break to crash an end-of-the-year teacher party for Marfa ISD.

The actor also surprised the faculty with a $5,000 check for the Marfa Education Foundation through his non-profit organization, SixDegrees.

Superintendent Andrew Peters says the money will be used to help provide free summer meals and activities to kids.
