The New Brunswick Gospel Music Hall of Fame recognized the New Brunswick Gospel Music Festival at its annual celebration this year with the Founder’s Cup, for promotion of Gospel Music, and unselfish sacrifice and sharing.

The New Brunswick Gospel Music Festival was held in Rusagonis for 31 successive summers from 1981 until 2011, and had a long-standing association with Rusagonis Baptist Church.  Pictures show four of the dedicated volunteer leadership team, Harold & Glenna Barton and Bob & Karene Gray.
