Pumpkin Heaven at The Hairafter

Every year Lynne Marchesse of the Hairafter in Crosslake remembers celebrities who have passed away during the year. This season she painted pumpkins for Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, Michael Jackson, Teddy Kennedy, David Carradine and Patrick Swayze. She is putting her finishing touches on Bea Arthur, which will be on display.

Lynne had a late start this year, as large pumpkins were scarce. She dedicates about three weeks of her time to create these pumpkins for all to enjoy. They are on display in front of her salon in Crosslake.

Lynne said “With the rain, it is hard to keep the paint from blending together.” The public is welcome to visit and view her creations. The Hairafter is located south of downtown Crosslake on the east side of County Road 3.
