Letter to the Editor: Dixie Softball Board thanks community, volunteers

Dear Ruston Businesses, Partners, and Volunteers,

On behalf of Ruston Dixie Softball, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your incredible support during our recent Dixie Softball World Series Tournament.

From the restaurants that kept the teams and fans fueled, to the local businesses that generously donated supplies, services, and sponsorships—and the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make every detail run smoothly—this event would not have been possible without you.

The contributions of the whole Ruston community helped us welcome guests from nine different states, showcase the spirit of our community, and create a tournament experience that players and families will remember for years to come. There have been so many compliments on the facilities (Ruston Sports Complex), the city of Ruston, and the friendliness of the people here.  

To the volunteers who gave up their time to run the scoreboards, scorebooks, gates, and to the LA Tech Women’s basketball team that helped us at the opening ceremony – THANK YOU!  We truly could not have had so much success without you.  It takes a whole community to make an event of this size a success and the Ruston community showed up and showed out this past weekend.     

 Thank you for showing what true hospitality and teamwork looks like.

Sincerely, 

Ruston Dixie Softball Board of Directors
