Save the date! The community will say an official farewell to the Ruston tunnel next Saturday, August 20th from 11:30 til 1:30. Construction prevents us from actually entering the structure, so we will gather at the Ruston School parking lot. Point Ruston will provide hot dogs, there will be a giant canvas to sign that will go into a time capsule (to be placed in the tunnel) and we are hoping to hear a recording of the old smelter whistle echo through Ruston streets one more time.
If you have other suggestions for the time capsule, please comment here. And plan on joining us next week to mark the end of an era in Ruston's history. And be sure to come back the next day for more nostalgia with the Cadillac car show. There will be dozens and dozens of classic cars, live music and booths to browse...

Save the tunnel!
Wow -- history in the making (and not the good kind!) Sure will miss the tunnel -- thanks for finding a way to mark its demise.
