Time to start your Single Digit Day dance!
By Robyn Marlow
As of today, we are EIGHT days away from the Great Ruleville Roast 2019!
Next Friday and Saturday – September 27 and 28 – is the time when folks from all over Sunflower and surrounding counties make their way to Ruleville to enjoy music, an amazing car, truck and tractor show, and some of the best barbecue in the whole world. This year’s theme is Boots and Barbecue.
This year marks the 14th annual Great Ruleville Roast and Run, a festival hosted by the Ruleville Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds of this event benefit the Chamber’s beautification efforts for Ruleville. This weekend is one of those special events that makes Ruleville a place we all love to call home.
