"The event transforms the Hudson River green space into a glowing field of glass. Hundreds of pumpkins-each hand-blown by artists from Gregory Tomb Glassblowing Studio and the Adirondack Glassblowing Studio -will be on display and for sale. The pieces range from tiny, jewel-like table toppers to large, sculptural gourds with curling stems and molten colors. Collectors come early to scoop up their favorites and returning visitors often treat the patch like a yearly treasure hunt."
"The fundraiser directs 20-percent of proceeds to Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley, adding a charitable dimension to the weekend. Food trucks, live music and children's crafts round out the festivities, making the patch a family-friendly outing as much as an art fair. On October 5, the event coincides with the Walk for Wishes Family Fun Day, giving visitors even more reason to stick around and celebrate. Admission is free, though parking at the park is paid."
