ENID, OK - The Ruffles and Rust Expo is a traveling boutique show with a vintage flair. It started as a dream for the owner, Camey Maldonado, as a way to feature the stores she loves and as a way to introduce others to the many hidden treasures she came across in her travels to other towns. She loves the funky, sparkly things while her husband, Gene, loves the old, rusty things. Hence, Ruffles and Rust.

The show brings a collection of vendors that feature vintage items, home décor, handmade items, gourmet food, and boutique items. Though the expo started from humble beginnings, its very first show was in Chickasha, OK. It has grown and is currently in its fourth season. If it is Rusty, Sparkly, Funky, Yummy and One of a Kind, you will find it at this show!

Josh and Tracy Douglas, who met Camey and Gene as vendors in the beginning shows, joined the Ruffles and Rust team in July 2016 as franchise owners of the Oklahoma and Arkansas territories. They started much the same way as Camey and Gene finding rusty gold and repurposing it into fun furniture and home décor. Josh says “ Gene warned me at the first show we were vendors at that this would get in our blood. I laughed and said there is no way. Here we are now as partners and loving it.”

Josh and Tracy are bringing the show to Enid at the Chisholm Trail Coliseum at the Garfield County Fairgrounds on April 1st from 9:00am to 5:00pm with much enthusiasm and excitement. The show will feature local vendors, but will also be bringing in vendors from all over Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas. Admission to the show is $5 per person and 12 and under is free.
