On Sunday, October 11, 1992, the City of Ramsey hosted its Fifth Annual Ramsey Business EXPO at the Ramsey Elementary School. The event was attended by over 1,000 residents from the City of Ramsey and surrounding communities. "Our attendance was down slightly from last year when we had over 1 ,200 people, but we were put at odds with one of the more beautiful days that we have had this fall. With temperatures in the mid-60's and rain for five days preceding the event, we thought the turnout was very good when taking those things into consideration," said David Kent, one of the cochairs of this year's event. Even with the lower turnout, excitement was found everywhere as people stopped at the many booths, signed up for prizes and received free gifts for just coming by and talking to the participants. A new addition to the food court this year was Taco Bell who stated that they had a very good response and look forward to returning to the 1993 Ramsey Business EXPO. As the crowd of residents mingled throughout the booths and talked to many of the fine merchants and representatives attending the EXPO, they were entertained with a jazzercise demonstration by Jazzercise of Ramsey, a dance presentation by J & L Academy of Dance Arts of Fridley and the Upbeat Kitchen Band which is a group of senior citizens from the Anoka-Ramsey area. Many children were excited to find and have their picture taken with 'Crunch," the Timberwolves mascot, as he roamed the EXPO signing autographs and giving away child-size Nestle Crunch bars. Many of the booths gave away a wide variety of prizes including $50 gift certificates, certificates for free carnations and coffee mugs. In addition to all of these free prizes were numerous door prizes. Pete Turok was kept busy most of the day announcing prize winners. The following door prizes were given away: CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 i' :1
