<br />Council Update
<br />Happy Days 2023
<br />This year was notable for the Ramsey Community because
<br />it marked the 25th Annual Happy Days Festival! With that,
<br />we switched some things up this year by starting with the 5K
<br />and Youth Fun Run at a new location, Elmcrest Park. This
<br />new location provided a more scenic route for the runners
<br />and newly paved trails. After the run, the Parade was held
<br />on Sunwood Drive at 11:00 a.m. We followed with various
<br />activities for all ages, including an Expo, Farmers Market,
<br />Ramsey Lions Beer Stand, Inflatables, Chili Cook -Off, Bean
<br />Bag Tournament, Dog Show and more! This year, four more
<br />food vendors were added to the line-up, offering all kinds
<br />of cuisine. While we are on the number 4, we thought it
<br />would be fun to have four bands this year instead of one. This
<br />provided the crowd with music from various genres from
<br />2:00-10:00 p.m. Another fantastic fireworks display lit up the
<br />crowd to cap off the night. This year was another one for the
<br />books: rain or shine! Thank you to our sponsors, the Ramsey
<br />community volunteers and City staff for making Happy Days
<br />successful. See more photos on the City's website at www.
