What Skowhegan business is celebrating 160 years of continuous service to their community? Quinn Hardware Company has participated in Skowhegan’s growth and development throughout the decades. Take a moment and think of all the changes they have seen. It began in a time of horse and buggies, and independent homesteading with a need for tools, blacksmithing and logging supplies to keep the river jack’s safe on the Kennebec. This Hardware store began as Blunt Hardware. Only three families have owned this business over the past 160 years. In the 1940s it was sold to the Chase family. Nellie’s and her two sons, Elliot and Fred, incorporated to make it Blunt Hardware Company, Inc. In 1959, Willis Quinn, who had been a long-time employee, purchased the store. The Quinns have stepped up and are currently the third generation keeping the Quinn family traditions going. Their friendly customer service, hardware know-how and participation in community projects are moving the company forward. Quinn Hardware is a major supporter of the Skowhegan Humane Society, offering puppy days in the store. They participate in many local fundraising events as well. May is a time of spring projects. Whether your home needs a fresh coat of paint, upgraded plumbing, or you’re doing a DIY project around the house, Quinn Hardware is here for you! Part of their charm is knowing their customers by name. If you call or email your order to them, it will be ready for pick-up when you arrive. You might have to take a moment and pet Clover the cat. She is Quinn Hardware’s official greeter. She will follow customers through the isles whispering a sweet hello “meows,” thus making the customer’s day. She is seen in the photo below relaxing after a long day of keeping everyone on their toes. Quinn Hardware has a large commercial business following as well. They are well-known in the area for Alicia and staff’s dedication to finding and stocking materials needed for contractor’s projects. If you are looking for the best “Local Hardware Store in Maine” as customers have dubbed them, Quinn Hardware on Route 201 in Skowhegan, ME should be on your next project “to-do” list. It’s a one stop down home Maine experience. Stop by and experience it for yourself! They are open 7 days a week, Monday through Friday 7:30am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am to 2pm. 207-474-2449 • info@quinnhardware.com • www.quinnhardware.com • Follow Us on Facebook
I met Clare in the Winter of 2015 at the McDonald’s on KMD in Waterville. My first impression is that she was a person with a great personality and was very easy to talk to. She was providing elder care services about six nights a week, but was looking for something more. She was bright, hardworking and creative, but as she stated “I don’t really fit into any pigeon holes.” I told her about my magazine, What About Maine, and said that I needed help, especially with sales in the Waterville area. Clare said, “I can to that!” So we gave it a try and went on the road one afternoon. I thought if she can sell one ad, I’ll hire her. Well she sold three ads and the rest as they say is history. Two of the three ads she sold that day are still in the magazine today: Dixon’s Market and B&F Vegetables. What I didn’t know then is that Clare had done this type of work before in the early 70’s when she ran a weekly newspaper called “The Twilighter” that was distributed in the Waterville area. She sold the ads and wrote stories there too. Clare has been a driving force and an inspirational reservoir since the day she started working at What About Maine. “I LOVE MY JOB!” she says, “I love all my clients and I love helping them get their messages out.” She enjoys telling the stories that no one else is telling. People like to read about local businesses and learn how they work and what makes them successful. Clare has come up with many new ideas for the magazine including, Maine Maple Sunday section, Apple Harvest, Food for You and ME, and “how about we add glossy pages.” Her philosophy is “Let’s give it a try!” Clare has had many adventures at What About Maine, like visiting a yak farm in Dresden, looking for loons with Captain Gary on the Snow Pond Cruiser, riding in an ATV through the Sugarbush at Raider’s Sugarhouse in China and interviewing Chase and Ryan from Maine Cabin Masters for a featured article. When Covid hit in 2020, we did not publish a Magazine in April or May of that year, and we had some discussions about whether we would ever publish again. Well, Clare wasn’t having any of that! She doubled her efforts to get things going again and we published in June and have been going strong ever since. Over the years Clare keeps pushing forward. She loves the friends she has made and is always looking for ways to make the magazine better, including a push on social media that has been taking off in the last few years. Thank you Clare for all that you do, I really appreciate you and have enjoyed working with you for the last 10 years. What do you think? Should we go for 20? — Marty Allen, Owner, What About Maine?

When you hear the words “Fairfield, Maine,” you think Hillman’s Bakery! A smile immediately comes to your face as you think of all the delicious treats you’ve come to love at Hillman’s! Everyone has their favorites. Whether you begin your day with a freshly made bismark, jelly filled donut, cinnamon twist, or raspberry horn and a cup of freshly brewed coffee, you leave knowing your day will be a little sweeter. It is always impressive to watch customers entering with anticipation to see their daily choices. Customers of all ages scan the display cases to see if their favorite treat is available. Grandparents bring their little ones in to choose cream horns, lemon squares, cookies, cupcakes and mini cheese cakes. Let’s not forget the whoopie pies. You can choose from the original or peanut butter, pumpkin and maple filled whoopie pies to provide a perfect dessert. Larry Hillman is the steward of this family business which began in 1960. Larry’s dad, Lawrence Hillman, started making donuts and taking them to work with him. The outpouring from locals encouraged him to purchase their present location. They lived in the house and turned the attached carriage house into the bakery, an enterprise that involved everyone in the family. Larry remembers , he had morning chores to be done before school and lots and lots of dishes and pots and pans to wash after school. Larry attended the University of Maine studying electrical engineering. He made the critical decision to return and move the business forward. Hillman’s Bakery incorporated in the early 1980s. When asked how he handles the long and early hours, he said he used to come in about 3am. Now with his long-time staff members, others come in about 4am to make the donuts and brew the coffee, so now he doesn’t have to come in until almost 6am. Larry and his family enjoy time at their camp at Indian Pond. Time to relax may be rare but Larry is happy he made the decision to have Sundays and Mondays off each week. Larry feels blessed to have staff that have been with him for over 30 years. Missi Furbush, Sharon Stowe, and Terri Rogers greet the early morning customers by name. They have their coffee and favorite donuts ready as soon as they come through the door. Everyone works hard and steady all day to create a full range of delicious dinners and desserts, giving families more time together and smiles on their faces. Another Hillman’s favorite is their made in-house baked beans every Friday! They sell out quickly so put Hillman’s on your Friday to-do list. They make brown bread and homemade yeast rolls to go with supper. Don’t forget the pie too. Hillman’s offers many selections for a cold winter’s night supper.
