We joined the Bar Harbor July 4th Parade with the Abbe Museum!
Parades are fun to watch, and thanks to collaboration with Subaru of New England and the Abbe Museum, it was a blast to participate, too.
Subaru of New England let us show their beautiful 3-row Ascent with the fancy lettering on the doors. We are so grateful for their support. (We have a few of our own Ascents on hand if you want a closer look!)

Ascent reveal party at Stanley Subaru
We held a special invitation to our owners to be the first people in Maine to get an up close look at the all-new Subaru Ascent.
But we love to share, and we can't keep the excitement to ourselves, so we invited WABI TV5 to help us share the details!
And this being Teacher Appreciation Day and all, we couldn't neglect the opportunity to team up with our local Hannaford Supermarkets store to give $100 Hannaford gift cards to each teacher at a school selected by our guests.
