Kiara spots the potential in this shoe

Kiara Bates of Gilmanton, accompanied by her mom Sharona and brother Gabriel, picks out a shoe to decorate as part of the “Downtown Still Has Sole Shoe Walk” contest. All 46 available shoes were claimed on Thursday afternoon at the Laconia Main Street Outdoor Marketplace, held at the municipal parking lot on Main Street. The market, now in its second year, boasts local vendors in every available spot and includes more meats and seafood, more pet-related items and lots of vegetable vendors. There are also crafters, bakers and prepared-food vendors at the market. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
