Ruston Music Fest Gets Bigger and Better

The Ruston-Point Defiance Business District Music Fest is going to be one heck of a party this Saturday (tomorrow) ~ 4 music stages, expanded Kids Zone, artists in action, food, crafts, beer garden, fire department demonstrations and more. The fun starts at 11 am and ends by 8 pm (one day only) on 51st Street in Ruston. Sponsored by Pierce County, The Weekly Volcano, The Commencement and Point Ruston this year.

Free entertainment for everyone ~ don't miss the fun!

• Ruston's own Ginger Kryger has organized a raku pottery demonstration. Raku is a unique firing process that produces spectacular metallic finishes. Small fish and starfish pieces will be available to purchase and fire yourself ~ a fund raiser for the Emergency Food Network. Bleachers will be set up so you can watch first hand. Painters, bead and chalk artists will be showing their skills as well.
• Kids Zone will have lots of inflatable toys for the little ones to run, jump and slide to their hearts content. This is the same operation that set up during Freedom Fest along Ruston Way. There is a small charge for these rides.
• Ruston Fire Department will have the new engine on display. Fire fighters will be doing free blood pressure checks and CPR/defibrillator demonstrations.
• About three times as many vendors will have everything from cashmere, fine scarfs, paintings, food and more.
• Point Defiance Cafe has an outdoor beer garden during the event in their parking lot.
• The auditor's office will be registering folks to vote.
