You can buy pumpkins at the Grand Opening!
If you find the perfect pumpkin at the Grand Opening and can't bear for it to get away from you, you can purchase it on the spot. Here's how: any supporter who makes a tax exempt donation of at least $50 may purchase up to two pumpkins at their marked price on October 6.
Monroe County Courthouse lawn
Come pick out your very own handmade blown glass pumpkin at the 8th annual Great Glass Pumpkin Patch! We will have over 900 glass pumpkins for display and sale spread out on the Monroe County Courthouse lawn like a real pumpkin patch. All of the pumpkins are made by the members of the Bloomington Creative Glass Center.
Over 40 local artists and non-artists have participated in blowing the pumpkins. Like at a real pumpkin patch, glass pumpkins will be out in the lawn for you to “pick” your very own!
With each purchase of a pumpkin, you are supporting arts education.
