Friday Flings 2011 May 13th, 2011
Perfect Weather!
The Husky Burgers were as delicious as ever if the line was any indication...
It’s here again! I traipsed downtown to the Friday Fling under the pavilions today…and enjoyed the sun! The weather was perfect and there were lots of people. The Palmer High Jazz Choir performed a few selections as well as the local ConFusion Jazz Combo.
Returning vendors like Tundra Comics and local gardens/nurseries attracted many browsers. Newer businesses like Moose Bites Personal Chefs and other local artists also caught many eyes.
Josh Anderson of Palmer High Jazz Choir wowed the crowd with a jazz solo.
Most people were just out to soak up the sun and see what Palmer businesses had to offer. Downtown is bustling with tourists, cyclists and families out for walks. I was able to catch up with many people I knew from high school, families from my church and even an old neighbor. I love this community!
Friday Flings will run through August 19th, every friday from 11am to 6pm.
