Powerhouse fundraising raffle offers a chance to stay at the Lake Estate

LACONIA — Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative, the resident theater company of the Colonial Theatre in Laconia, will hold a raffle fundraiser to help support its 2026 season. On Dec. 19, several Power Players went to the beautiful, brand new resort The Lake Estate on Winnisquam in Tilton to sing Christmas carols. In appreciation the resort offered a gift certificate to Powerhouse to be used for a fundraiser.

Powerhouse will offer 500 tickets for the raffle, giving people a one in 500 chance for each ticket purchased to win the prize — a one-night stay in a deluxe king room and breakfast for two at the resort worth an estimated $800-$1,000.

Gift certificates have no cash value, cannot be combined with any other offer and may not be transferred. Reservations cannot be reserved more than 30 days prior to desired arrival date. Valid Sunday through Thursday nights only. Not valid during holiday or special event periods, or during the months of July, August or October. Subject to availability.

Powerhouse producer Johanna Halperin said, “We so enjoyed caroling at The Lake Estate on Winnisquam resort. It’s a beautiful new venue that is sure to bring lots of new guests to the Lakes Region. We appreciate their generosity in allowing us to raffle off this chance to give someone a remarkable overnight experience.”

Raffle tickets can be purchased at powerhousenh.org/raffle and will be available until all 500 tickets are sold or through Saturday, Feb. 15, the closing performance of Powerhouse’s adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Colonial Theatre, whichever comes first.
