Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation is gearing up for their 2nd annual Pumpkin Figure Contest, while contestants are preparing their creations to be ready for display and judging on Friday, Oct. 15 and 16. The event is not only a competition, as well as fun fall activity sponsored by the Foundation, but it is also a small fundraiser. To help out the cause, Calise Houle, manager of Laconia’s Happy Cow Ice Cream Shop on Union Avenue, offered to join the Foundation for that special weekend and will give 10 percent of the sales for the two days of the event.
