Meeker Days is Back! Let’s Celebrate Summer in Puyallup!
Grab your sunglasses and maybe loosen your belt a notch, **Meeker Days is back!**
If you’ve lived in Puyallup for any length of time, you know that June isn't officially summer until the streets of downtown are filled with the scent of fried dough and the sound of live music. This year, from **June 12th through the 14th**, we’re celebrating the 87th anniversary of this local staple. That’s right, 87 years of community, crafts, and calories that we promise were "totally worth it."
At **Sanchez Medicare Solutions**, we’re all about helping you live your best, healthiest life, and part of that is staying connected to the community. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, Meeker Days is the perfect excuse to get outside, get some steps in, and enjoy everything our beautiful town has to offer.
87 Years of History and 200+ Ways to Shop
It’s hard to believe Meeker Days has been going strong since 1939. This isn't just a street fair; it’s a Puyallup tradition that brings together over 200 local artisans, makers, and small businesses. From handmade jewelry to garden decor that you definitely didn't know you needed until you saw it, there’s something for everyone.
And let’s talk about the music. With **three different stages** featuring nonstop entertainment, you can catch everything from local rock bands to country crooners. We highly recommend finding a spot near the Pioneer Park stage, grabbing a cold drink, and just soaking in the vibes.
The Real Stars: Elephant Ears and Scones
Let’s be honest: some people come for the crafts, but most of us come for the food. If you leave Meeker Days without a dusting of powdered sugar on your shirt from an **elephant ear**, did you even go?
And of course, we have to mention the **Fisher Scones**. There’s something about that warm bread and tart raspberry jam that just tastes like childhood. While we’re usually the first ones to talk to you about balanced diets and healthcare, we firmly believe that "Festival Food" belongs in its own special category. (Just maybe take an extra lap around the block to even it out!)
Fun for the Whole Family (Grandkids Included!)
One of the best things about Meeker Days is how multi-generational it is. If you’re looking for a way to win "Grandparent of the Year," bring the grandkids down to the **Kid Zone**.
The massive **Sandbox** at Pioneer Park (generously donated by Washington Rock) is a legendary hit every year. While the little ones are busy building sandcastles and digging for treasure, you can find a nearby bench, enjoy the shade, and chat with your neighbors. It’s a great way for them to burn off some energy while you enjoy the sunshine.
Staying Active and Healthy on Medicare
You might wonder why a Medicare insurance agency is so excited about a street festival. The truth is, staying active and socially engaged is one of the best things you can do for your health as you age.
Walking the vendor loops is a great low-impact workout, and the social connection of seeing friends and neighbors does wonders for your mental well-being. At Sanchez Medicare Solutions, we want you to have the coverage that allows you to enjoy these moments without worrying about "what ifs." Whether it's finding a plan with a great fitness benefit or making sure your prescription drug coverage is dialed in, we're here to do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the fun stuff.
A Note from Ramon:
If you see me out there this weekend, please say hello! I might even be with my mother.
I actually got into the insurance business because of her. I saw how confusing the world of Medicare could be, and I wanted to make sure she: and everyone else in our community: had someone they could trust to guide them through it. Today, she isn't just my mom; she’s one of my members. That’s the level of care and personal attention we bring to every person who walks through our doors. We treat you like family because, to us, you are.
We’re Here to Help!
