❤️THANK YOU, MAT-SU VALLEY! ❤️
Well… just like that, our Summer Thursday Outdoor Market season has come to an end. 🥹
We're honestly having a hard time believing how quickly it went. It feels like we just opened the season, and suddenly we're packing away the tents and saying, “Where did summer go?!”
But before we close the book on this season, there is something we absolutely have to say:
THANK YOU. ❤️🥰
To every vendor who showed up week after week, brought your handmade creations, baked goods, artwork, jewelry, woodworking, treats, treasures, and talents to our market—we appreciate you more than you know.
Thank you for taking a chance on Thursday Market.
Thank you for braving the Alaska sunshine, drizzle, wind, and everything in between. 😂
Thank you for sharing your stories and your talents with our community.
Thank you for encouraging one another, welcoming new vendors, and helping make each Thursday feel like a little community gathering.
You are what made the market special. ❤️
To our customers and patrons—THANK YOU for coming out!
Thank you for stopping by a booth.
Thank you for making a purchase.
Thank you for telling a friend.
Thank you for sharing our posts.
Thank you for discovering a new local business.
And thank you for choosing to spend your hard-earned dollars supporting Alaska small businesses.
Every purchase, conversation, recommendation, like, share, and friendly hello mattered.
To everyone who shared our weekly posts, tagged friends, invited someone to come along, or helped spread the word—you helped us reach people we couldn't have reached on our own. 📣❤️
To the families, friends, neighbors, visitors, food lovers, treasure hunters, and curious folks who wandered through our market...
Thank you for being part of it.
And to the people who never quite made it out this summer...
We missed you! 😉
But don't worry—the outdoor tents may be coming down, but Meadow Lakes Market isn't going anywhere!
Inside the market, you'll continue to find over 100 Alaska artists, makers, craftsmen, and small businesses with their Alaska-made goods available throughout the year.
So while this chapter of Thursday Outdoor Market is finished for the season...
This isn't goodbye. It's “see you inside!” ❤️
From all of us at Meadow Lakes Market, thank you for making our Summer Thursday Outdoor Market something worth remembering.
We couldn't have done it without our incredible vendors, our wonderful customers, our community, our supporters, and everyone who helped make Thursdays just a little more special.
Here's to the friendships made, the treasures found, the treats enjoyed, the businesses supported, and all the memories made along the way.
We can't wait to see what next summer brings. ☀️❤️
Until then...
Keep shopping local. Keep supporting small. Keep buying Alaska-made.
And most importantly—
Keep showing up for the people in your community who are brave enough to build something of their own. ❤️
Thank you, Mat-Su Valley.
You made this season one to remember. 🥰
