The fourth annual Lincoln Parish Park Fest will be held Saturday, September 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lincoln Parish Park (211 Parish Park Road in Ruston).
It will be a day and an event full of arts, food, family and fun and is presented by Friends of Lincoln Parish Park.
Admission is $10 per car and all proceeds from The Park Fest will go to Lincoln Parish Park for upkeep, renovations, and new adventures.
Lincoln Parish Police Juror Annette Straughter said that after funding was cut from the park almost five years ago, she put thought into how additional funds could be raised. And the fourth annual Park Fest is one of those avenues.
“Lincoln Parish Park is an amazing jewel,” said Straughter. “There is something new and exciting to explore every day. We thank all the volunteers that are helping to make this festival successful!”
The event will include arts and crafts booths, fly fishing demos, a Kids Zone with bounce houses and free book giveaways, antique car show and vintage trailers, food trucks with a variety of items and desserts, live entertainment with a variety of music, and much more.
Some of the live entertainment acts include Al Young Seniors (R&B) and Chloe Alexander. Patrick Hall will also serve as the emcee and DJ for the event.
New to the event this year is a Mountain Bike starting at 8 a.m. at the Bicycle Hub. There will also be a free (new) book giveaway courtesy of Rollings Hills Ministry.
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office will be on hand along with the K9 units to entertain the crowd with canine demonstrations, while a Bearcat rescue truck will be on display. The Ruston Ambulance and Fire Department will be on hand to provide coverage for the event.
Event goers will have an opportunity to win a 4-gallon Cajun Fryer donated by R.V. Works of Homer, La. by making a donation to the park and receiving a ticket (the winner does not have to be present to win). There will also be opportunities to win a handmade quilt from Lincoln Parish Police Juror Hazel Hunter as well as individual/family park passes for a year.
Thank you to Rapid Signs (t-shirt donations), all Lincoln Parish Police Jurors, Twin City Transportation (sponsor), Meaux’ Plumbing and Tank Service (sponsors) and Don Chuys (sponsor).
We also appreciate the local Boy Scouts as well as the Louisiana Tech Concrete Canoe Team and Louisiana Tech cheerleaders who will be assisting throughout the day with set up and clean up.
