Lily Savage, 4, puts her head in the Bow Mills United Methodist Church pumpkin board cutout so her grandparents can take her photograph on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The church gets the pumpkins from New Mexico and the proceeds go to four charities around the Concord area. Lily picked out a pumpkin and a small gord. Credit: GEOFF FORESTER / For the Monitor
