Local law enforcement agencies are partnering with Zion Travelers Baptist Church and local businesses for the upcoming National Night Out on Tuesday, October 7.
National Night Out is a community-building event filled with food, fun, entertainment and more that promotes strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.
Locally the event is sponsored by the City of Ruston, the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Ruston Police Department, Zion Travelers Baptist Church, Origin Bank, Century Next Bank, Real Change of Ruston, and Gibsland Bank and Trust.
Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Iris Winston is currently seeking additional vendors and sponsors for the event which will be held at Zion Baptist Church in Ruston.
“We are looking for all types of vendors,” said Sgt. Winston, who said she already has around 15 vendors confirmed. “We are not limited. We have a good variety already, but are hoping to add more prior to the event. We want as many vendors as our location will fit.”
Sgt. Winston said that there is no charge for anyone to become a vendor at the event, but there is one main restriction.
“The only thing is they cannot sell anything that night,” said Sgt. Winston. “It can be informational-only.”
Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor for the event or signing up to be a vendor, can reach out to Sgt. Winston at iwinston@lpsheriff.org or call 318-251-6440. Interested vendors can also use the QR code below to sign up.
