Wintergreen is pleased to announce that they will be hosting Katie Huntley of Squid Ink Jewelry. Squid Ink Jewelry is a family business that has been around for over 10 years. They believe that the arts bring people together. They work hard to buy as many of their supplies locally to support Maine’s economy.  Each piece they create is hand sculpted and unique, which means no two pieces are the same. Their goal is to make high quality yet affordable pieces that appeal to all people. Also enjoy live music from the Presque Isle Bossa Quartet playing jazz with a Latin flair. Light refreshments will be served.
