Local Food Vendors Bring Community Together for new Palmer Event

Contributed by Emerald Kroeker

Nonkie Bé’s Cajun Faves Food Trailer is hosting a Summer Solstice Food Truck Fair.

"We’re inviting everyone to come to our hometown of Palmer to enjoy a fun-filled day relaxing under the midnight sun," says Jeanean Fontenot of Nonkie Bé’s Cajun Faves.

The Summer Solstice Food Truck Fair will take place Saturday, June 18th from 12-7pm at the downtown Palmer pavilion on Valley Way.

With rising gas prices, mobile vendors are taking the opportunity to create another home-grown celebration Palmer is known to love in lieu of travelling to longer-standing events out of town.

"Shop at one or all of our local gift shops, eat your way through any or all of our Food Truck options while in your lawn chair under the pavilion or at one of the picnic tables and then wrap up your day by burning those calories off at a concert on the lawn of the Palmer Ale House," says Fontenot.

Local, award-winning, cover band Nothin' But Trouble takes the stage at Palmer Alehouse at 7pm.

Vendors participating in the Summer Solstice Food Truck Fair include 9-O’no-7, Alaskas Lemon Earthquake Shakeup & Last Frontier Funnel Cakes, Birdhouse Sandwich Co., DallyMac & Cheese, Dough In The Snow, Grandma Wei’s Homemade Dumplings, Moosequito Eatery, Patriot BBQ and Nonkie Bé’s Cajun Faves.
