Flourish Magazine hosts a downtown event for the entire family

Flourish Magazine, the quarterly women's publication produced by Rust Communications, will host an event this weekend you will want to attend.

The Flourish Downtown Day Out will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. There will be food trucks, live music, poetry readings, a vendor market and interactive events. Unlike the magazine's previous events geared toward a female audience, this one is for the entire family.
