This event is exclusively for BOSS Soldiers
THIS is Alaska — and it’s even better with BOSS!
New to Fairbanks or just looking for that iconic Golden Heart City experience? 🌲 Join USO Alaska and the Fort Wainwright BOSS program for our Alaskan Farmers Market Walkabout at the Tanana Valley Farmers Market (TVFM) — a must-do summer tradition!
🛒 This week we will stroll through one of Alaska’s most unique markets and meet with the market’s Executive Director and four special vendors:
• Introduction to TVFM with Executive Director, Brad St. Pierre • Boreal Woods Mushroom Farm: Farm-grown mushrooms & local produce • We are Dip Alaska: Alaskan-made dips, mixes, and seasonings • Marlo’s Bakery: Fresh-baked pastries, breads & dessert • Tundra Walker Studio Honey: Handcrafted raw honey & more!
This isn’t just a Saturday outing — it’s a taste of what makes Fairbanks special, shared with your fellow single service members and the Fort Wainwright BOSS community, who advocate for your voice and quality of life.
📅 WHEN: Saturday, August 2nd at 10:30 AM
📍 WHERE: Meet at Fort Wainwright Welcome Center: 3401 Santiago Avenue, Fort Wainwright, AK
🎯 WHY: Because THIS is Alaska — and you haven’t really experienced Fairbanks until you’ve done this.
✨ Food tastings and samples are limited — registration is required! [Link to register]
Special thanks to our proud partner Delta Airlines for supporting “This is Alaska” and so many other programs that uplift and connect service members and military families through the USO.
Let your voice be heard. Live it. Explore it. THIS is Alaska.
