 A local business in Brainerd has started a unique contest this year to get the community to ins the spirit for Halloween. Wichert Realtors Tower Properties is hosting a virtual pumpkin carving contest for people of all ages to participate in. The business decided to start the contest as a way to involve community members of the Brainerd Lakes area and get them excited for Halloween. The big thing about Brainerd areas is we are a local community. We are a tourism community. We're very local. You know, it's been cool seeing people from the community join in and get to do that kind of thing and join with us. Contest started on October 4th, it ends on October 29th and to find out how to enter the contest you can visit the story on our website at lptv.org.
