CITY OF RAMSEY <br />Description of Community Programs and Donations <br />The Farmers Market patrons for 2014 remain similar, but 'up' from 2013. Concert attendance is up <br />greater than 30% with sitting concert goers counted at between 300 and 700 per event. Many come <br />and go during the one and half hour concert, so these numbers may be somewhat higher. <br />Game Fair <br />This is a privately operated event located within the city of Ramsey. The event is held annually in August <br />to promote outdoor sporting and activities as well as local and national related exhibitors. Fair -goers are <br />encouraged to bring their dogs (leashed) and their guns or bows (cased) so they can participate in the <br />many activities offered in an outdoor setting. Activities for children of all ages include: slingshots, air <br />rifles, archery and darts. The city has negotiated an agreement with the event sponsor to offer public <br />safety support at a 50 percent cost reduction in recognition of the strong outside attention and <br />community status it brings to the city. <br />Pet Clinic <br />The city sponsors two pet clinics per year. The purpose for the event is to offer low-cost pet care <br />vaccinations and free dog licenses (both required by Ramsey City Code). The event is staffed by five city <br />employees with the veterinary service being outsourced. All veterinary fees are charged and collected <br />by the veterinary vendor. <br />Page 7 <br />
