2016 Happy Days Festival a Great Success! The City of Ramsey's 18th annual Happy Days Festival was held this past week, starting with the Taste of Happy Days event on Thursday, September 8, followed by a day full of fun activities on Saturday, September 10, and wrapping up with the 9/11 Memorial Golf Tournament on Sunday, September 11. All events were a great success! We saw impressive community involvement, large crowds throughout the day, and a lot of smiling faces. The Happy Days Committee would like to thank all those who joined us for the festivities! And thank you to the many volunteers and sponsors who dedicated their time and resources towards making this celebration possible for our community! The Committee looks forward to beginning planning efforts for next year's festival. To learn more about the Happy Days Committee, visit our website at www.cityoframsey.com/happy-days.
