Your Input Needed

The Ruston-Point Defiance Business District put on the Ruston Family Fair last month. The committee that did the work is asking for feedback on how to improve the event for next year. If you attended, let us know what you liked and didn't like. If you didn't come down, let us know why and if you were even aware of the event.

You can post a comment here, or email me at Karen.Pickett.mba@gmail.com. Thanks for the input!

Please Join Us Saturday!


Lots of good, old-fashioned fun will hit Ruston streets on Saturday!

Building on a successful Cadilac LaSalle car show, the Ruston-Point Defiance Business District has added plenty of new excitement for the whole family with an old-fashioned country fair feel. From wagon rides, face painting, kids games and more to a baking contest and cupcake walk - the day will hold loads of rag-tag fun for everyone.
