Residents had the opportunity to buy a variety of handmade arts and crafts and baked goods by local artists and bakers at the 43rd annual Oktoberfest Art Share in the community gym on Saturday. The event was sponsored and organized by the Muskeg Maleriers. Heavenly hotdogs, Thai food, soft pretzels, popcorn, lemonade and taco salads were also available in the activity room. There were 56 vendors this year, just two vendors shy from the record-breaking 58 vendors last year. Sally Dwyer, one of the organizers, said there was a steady flow of people coming in and out of the community gym throughout the five-hour event.
