Pumpkin Fest 2025 was a tremendous success at the Laconia Senior Center!

The event featured delicious baked goods, ice cream sundaes, and exciting raffle prizes—all sold to raise funds for the Center’s activities. Families enjoyed games, crafts, and toy giveaways for every child in attendance.

Thanks to the dedication of CAPBM staff and the wonderful volunteers from the Laconia Senior Center, the event ran smoothly and was full of festive spirit. The Center was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and several participants even came dressed in fun Halloween costumes!

One of our favorite regulars—the beloved Pumpkin Man—joined in the Pumpkin Fest Parade, delighting everyone who attended.

We’re incredibly proud of our staff and volunteers for their time, energy, and creativity in making the day such a success. A special shoutout goes to Doris (pictured with Tracie Elder), who at 98 years young and a daily visitor to the Center, helped run the baked goods table.

It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and community spirit—and together we raised over $600 for the Laconia Senior Center!

The Children’s Halloween Extravaganza, co-sponsored by the TRIP Senior Center, was held on Saturday, October 18th — and it was a spooktacular success!
Kids enjoyed a variety of fun crafts, including pumpkin decorating and cookie decorating, and each child went home with a trick-or-treat bag full of goodies!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to kick off Franklin Fall Fest with us, and an extra special shoutout to all the amazing volunteers who helped make this event possible. We couldn’t have done it without you!
