Island Arts Associations 4th Annual Oktoberfest Craft Fair
10AM to 3PM on the Pemetic School Lawn, downtown Southwest Harbor
2019 Artists include:
The Island Arts Association was formed in 1975 by a group of Mount Desert Island artisans, with the idea of promoting individual local craftspeople by hosting group shows. Many artists work alone in their studios, and these shows provide camaraderie, marketing ideas and exposure to new customers. Fair fees are kept low to encourage those just starting out. The IAA is hosted by the YWCA of MDI, whose mission includes empowering women through business opportunities.
We hold craft fairs on Mount Desert Island which are open to our members & other artisans. To become a member you must live on Mount Desert Island, or one of the outer islands.

Seal Cove Auto Museum
The Seal Cove Auto Museum features early automobiles and motorcycles from the Brass Era (1895-1917). Antique auto enthusiasts as well as those who simply enjoy autos from the past will delight in this unique collection.
1928 Ford Model A Huckster
The Huckster is a style of vehicle used in the early part of the 20th century by peddlers. Normally built by converting a pick-up body,the rear of this type of vehicle was often fitted with a wood enclosure giving plenty of space for wares for sale, such as fruits and vegetables.
This 1928 Huckster was donated to the Museum by Barbara MacQuinn in honor of her late husband, Mr. Ronald P. MacQuinn. It was previously owned by Harry Owen of the Stone Barn Farm in Bar Harbor in the 1960s. The MacQuinns bought the Huckster from Owen in 1994, with the intention of restoring the automobile; however, Mr. MacQuinn passed away before he was able to complete the restoration. His friends Les Brewer, Gordon Young Jr, Craig Robbins, and others recently finished the job Mr. MacQuinn had always wanted completed.
