Growth was definitely the theme of this year’s event. This year, we had ten more expo booths, seven more parade floats, 65 more 5K and Youth Fun Run participants, six more cars entered to the car show and 11 more riders in the bike tour compared to 2017. The City would also like to thank Stone Brook Academy for sponsoring a new event – the Ice Cream Social! We would also like to thank The Kitchen Table for hosting a familiar favorite, the pancake breakfast. We hope these can be fun, family-friendly Happy Days events that will return year after year. The City is always looking for Happy Days sponsors and volunteers. To sponsor an event or to volunteer for an event next year contact Event Coordinator Megan Thorstad at 763-433-9831 or mthorstad@cityoframsey.com. Questions or concerns about the Happy Days event can also be directed to Megan. Volunteer Tree Survey Training. Friday and Saturday, September 21 and 22. Last chance! Do you like the outdoors? Have a passion for trees? Looking for a chance to get involved with the community? We may just have the answer for you. The City of Ramsey is conducting a survey public of its trees to get a sense of the number, type, and condition of the trees in its urban forest. The survey will take place over the remainder of summer/fall 2018 and the summer of 2019 and will be completed entirely by volunteers! Volunteers need to attend and complete two sessions of training to learn how to identify tree species, determine age-class, and rate the condition of trees in the community. Training is completed in two parts, one indoor session and one outdoor session. Once trained, volunteers will work in teams to help conduct a citywide tree inventory/survey.
