THANK YOU!

What an incredible Tent Sale!

A huge THANK YOU to the hundreds of customers who came out, shopped, supported us, and helped make this one of the BIGGEST events we’ve ever had at our Banner Elk location!

Over the two-day sale, we offered more than $50,000 worth of inventory at 50–75% OFF — and you all showed up BIG!

We are incredibly grateful for every purchase, every familiar face, every new customer, and everyone who shared the event and told a friend.

Our customers are the reason we get to do what we do.

Thank you for shopping local.
Thank you for supporting small business.
And most of all — THANK YOU for supporting The Marketplace at Curiosity!

If you loved it - comment below and we will do it again next year!
