The 5th annual Lincoln Parish Park Fest will be held this Saturday (September 27) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lincoln Parish Park (211 Parish Park Road in Ruston). It is the festival’s fifth anniversary; therefore, admission is FREE for all festival goers.
It will be a day and an event full of arts, food, family and fun and is presented by Friends of Lincoln Parish Park.
All other 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 fifth 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, a concrete canoe demonstration performed by the Louisiana Tech, Concrete Canoe Association, a Kids Zone with bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, a huge obstacle course that the National Guard will set up, antique car show, food trucks with a variety of items and desserts, live entertainment with a variety of music, and much more.
The Louisiana Blood Bus will also be on site.
Rick Godley will also serve as the emcee and DJ for the event.
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.
Thank you to Rapid Signs (t-shirt donations), all Lincoln Parish Police Jurors, and Twin City Transportation (sponsor).
We also appreciate the local Boy Scouts as well as the Louisiana Tech Concrete Canoe Team.
