## Moments from Events in Ankeny

- **Review**: "I had such a great time at the Prescott Valley Community Market this past Sunday. The energy out there was exactly what a community market should feel like — friendly vendors, easy conversations, laughter floating across the rows, and that relaxed “Sunday pace” that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it.

Every booth had something unique, and the artisans brought such good spirit to the day. You could feel how much pride they put into their work, and how much joy they get from sharing it. The vendors were welcoming, helpful, and genuinely fun to talk with — the kind of people who make you glad you stopped by.

It was a great environment all around: warm, lively, and full of good moments. If you haven’t been out yet, you’re missing something special. Also love this donation drive they are doing for the kids!!!"
