Pumpkin fest success

Camp Sunshine’s annual Pumpkin Festival raised more than $50,000 for its mission to help children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

The festival, held on Oct. 29 at L.L.Bean in Freeport, drew thousands to the area, despite the early snowstorm.

About 5,200 jack-o-lanterns were lit as snowflakes filled the air. The event featured activities for kids, a corporate pumpkin carving challenge, and a whoopie pie eating contest.
