The day started off on a great note with 77 <br />runners showing up to take on the new Connexus <br />Energy 5k course and some 60 riders enjoying the <br />scenic family bike tour from the Ramsey Fire <br />Station to Lake Itasca Park. 75 expo vendors <br />filled the field across from the Municipal Center <br />and attracted steady crowds throughout the day. <br />In the afternoon, classic cars lined both sides of <br />Sunwood Drive for the Happy Days Car Show, <br />which was later replaced by thousands of visitors <br />who gathered to pull up a spot along the curb and <br />watch the 2014 Happy Days Parade, featuring an <br />impressive 50 floats this year! <br />There was fun for all ages; from the inflatable <br />playgrounds, face painting, and youth talent show for the <br />kids, to Bingo, the Chili Cook -off and the first ever <br />Happy Days Bean Bag Tournament for adults. Everyone <br />enjoyed delicious food from seven different vendors and <br />awesome musical performances by the Megan Elizabeth <br />Band, the Bill & Danny Show, and the very talented <br />Maiden Dixie band. The fireworks show, complete with <br />a few `smiley face' displays, was the perfect way to end <br />one happy day! <br />The Happy Days Committee would like to thank all of those who volunteered their time and efforts <br />towards making the 16 annual Happy Days Festival a smooth and splendid event.
