Kids Adopt a Shelter Hi my name is Sean. My goal is to get as many kids and families to help shelters save as many animals as possible.

Hi my name is Sean Martin, when I was 11 I began my mission to help shelter animals. My organization hopes to inspire kids to learn the love of volunteering and helping animals.

“If you want to lift yourself, then lift up someone else” - Booker T Washington

In our best hopes we have strived to cultivate this and many other monumental quotes or philosophical meanings into a philanthropic endeavor we as a charity take part in. By which in this process there is no discrimination, charity is not subjective nor will it be on our watch. I hope in educational efforts by Kids Adopt a Shelter “KAS” and it’s peers to prove this point, we donate, love, serve, and protect animals and along the way we educate and grow our children, the people who stand for and or around the person/animal in need is no concern of ours. For whatever background, social standing, sexuality, gender, race or any other factor that makes a person or situation special is simply not part of the equation that makes KAS what it is. This beautiful outstanding part of our hearts is not to be affected by intra-personal drama. Please respect and understand my stance, as I will always strive to respect and understand yours. Thank you,
-Sean Martin

This weekend in Laconia, an entire downtown is getting ready to glow with jack-o'-lanterns! 🎃✨

And if you love everything about a New Hampshire October, we have a pretty wonderful reason to get out of the house.

The Laconia Pumpkin Festival returns October 23–24, bringing two days of pumpkins, costumes, music, food, and fall festivities to the heart of the Lakes Region.

But there's one moment that makes this celebration especially memorable.

Saturday evening, as daylight fades over downtown Laconia, the giant pumpkin tower in Veterans Square comes to life.

Row after row of carved jack-o'-lanterns light up, their funny, spooky, and sometimes wonderfully ridiculous faces glowing against the night.

It's the kind of sight that makes everyone stop, look up, and reach for their cameras.

And the fun starts long before sunset.

During the day, downtown fills with food trucks, local vendors, live entertainment, Halloween costumes, arts and crafts, and plenty of reasons to wander from one end of the festival to the other.

There are costume parades for kids AND dogs, dancing witches, a pumpkin-themed road race, family activities, and a juried craft and art show at the historic Belknap Mill.

You'll find people sampling fall treats, browsing local shops, laughing at the costumes, and deciding what to see next.

And when the sun goes down, the celebration takes on a whole different personality.

Colorful lights brighten the streets, the pumpkins begin to glow, and the evening entertainment keeps the fun going.

Here's how we'd enjoy it.
Arrive Saturday afternoon, take your time exploring downtown, find something delicious from a food truck, and make your way toward Veterans Square before the pumpkin tower lighting at 5:45 PM.

Then stay a little longer to enjoy Laconia all lit up for Halloween.

You could certainly make a day of it, but it's that transition from a lively fall afternoon to a glowing October night that makes this one especially fun to imagine.

And you don't have to wait for next year.
It's happening THIS WEEKEND! 🎃🍂
