Congratulations to the Winners of The First Groton Great Pumpkin Carving Contest!

We were delighted with the number and qualities of all the entries in The Groton Line’s first Great Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Despite the unusual weather this Halloween, area carvers delivered some great jack ‘o lanterns, and one carver took home a top prize by taking advantage of that deep layer of white stuff. So with no further delay, the winners are:
