Christmas: Ruston-Style

A good time was had by one and all on Friday night as Ruston rang in the holiday season with a community Christmas tree lighting. Santa came to visit, one of the state's best young opera singers (Kat and friend Scott) warmed our souls with music and new mayor Bruce Hopkins encouraged everyone to shop local in support of Ruston's businesses.

Then everyone had the opportunity to follow Santa up to our local shops for hot cider and great gift ideas. If you missed the Business District open house, be sure and stop in before Christmas and pick up a gift or two.

Santa visits again at the old town hall (5117 N. Winnifred) with candy and photo opportunities on Saturday, December 20th at 12 noon. The fire department will bring him through town on the fire engine in style with lights and sirens. When you hear the sirens, wave to the jolly elf and head to town hall to say hi in person.
