 I Want to Ride My Bicycle! So, how many of you brought your mom to RAM last weekend? If you missed it, I'll let you in on a little secret - you can bring her THIS weekend, too! Yep, that's right, moms are always welcome at RAM! I DO want to apologize for the water/bathroom issues last week. When we arrived at the park last Saturday we found out that the bathrooms weren't working and there was no water. After much investigation by the City's Parks and Rec department, JEA, and many of our vendors, it was determined that there was a big line leak somewhere. I am happy to say that the City has taken care of the problem and we should be fine this weekend. I want to give a VERT BIG THANKS to the Red Cross for allowing us to use their restrooms for part of the day, and to the many people who tried to help. Believe me, we did not enjoy having the restrooms out of order, or having to use port-a-potties and hand-washing stations. BUT, in life stuff happens sometimes, you handle it, and move on. All is good now so lets have a SUPER Saturday this week! This Saturday, not only do we have some great artists, entertainers and food, but it's Bicycle Day at RAM! Everyone is encouraged to ride their bike to RAM and if you use the free bike valet, you get a ticket for a free beer at Intuition Ale. (Only if you're 21 or older, of course!) Adding to the bike theme - Lake Shore Schwinn will be there, there will be a bike swap area, and there will be a bike clinic available so you can get your bike tuned-up! It's going to be a GREAT DAY under the bridge so come out and join us, and ride your bike - it's MUCH less expensive than the cost of gas, it's good for your health, and it's FUN! See you there!

YOU can be a famous artist and have your art for sale/display at RAM! All you have to do is buy a set of squares and do something creative on the 9' x 9' space. Then, put a price on it, turn it in, and we will include it at the RAM Art Gallery so visitors can enjoy it and possibly buy it! What? You don't have any squares to get creative on? The RAM Art Gallery has blank square sets available for purchase at RAM! Sets are only $36 and you can pay by cash, check, or credit card. Local professional and budding artists are finding RAM to be a great venue for their work, and the community has been supporting local artists by purchasing numerous artistic squares. Come out and see what's new, or drop off your completed art squares at RAM! |
