Scuba divers took pumpkin carving into Lake Champlain, WCAX reported. Off Burlington they worked in 51-degree water, carving underwater to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The cold and the lake are the setting. The money is the point of the stunt. The station's account is this carve for that charity, not a report on treatment and not a total of what the dive raised.
