While some remnants of the COVID pandemic linger during this year's Halloween holiday, like children receiving candy through tubes, trick-or-treaters filled the streets on the warm fall night Thursday in Laconia.
A house on 30 Holman St. in Laconia is lit up blue during trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Neil Thomason, who lives there, said the first year they decorated, in 2019, they used small spotlights on gravestones. Since then, they decided to light the whole home.
