Drove up to Fairbanks early, very very early, don't know how the farmers do it.
Made it to Fairbanks, and set up, and one hour later, I was ready to start selling at my first farmers market. What a great day, 64 degrees, which was nice considering a week and half ago we had a couple of snow storms.......
So, many wonderful handmade gifts and crafts, the farmers themselves weren't quite ready to make a show yet, a couple or so more weeks for them. Handmade mustards from Moosetards, and wonderful stained glass jewlery from Jack River Jewlery made by Nurse Sue and massage therapist (glad to have both of her other skills on hand, just in case). Wow, there are so many talented people in Alaska. Little Gretchen's first show selling like crazy her homemade carmel and sweets....... the quality of the food vendors was also great.
So, by the end of the day, after driving two hours each way, stuffing myself on homemade raviolli and fallafel sandwich's, it was a great success.
Tourist should be arriving off the ships and into Denali National Park by this Tuesday. How exciting.............Till next time
