There were also three inflatables for students to play on.

In the Midwest Golf Dome, a crowd of school safety patrols there for the 59th Annual Ramsey County School Safety Patrol Recognition Event on May 8 jumped and cheered as they each tried to catch Beany Babies launched into the air from the balcony above.

The 59th Annual Ramsey County School Safety Patrol Recognition Event was held May 8 at Aldrich Arena and Midwest Golf Dome in Maplewood. The event, which honored the work school safety patrols do throughout the year, was attended by about 900 students from Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake, Hugo, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, North St. Paul, Oakdale, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township and Woodbury. Children at the event were able to sit inside various emergency vehicles and even take a ride in an antique firetruck.
