While most pumpkin patches are filled with decorative gourds and hay bales, the 17th annual Great Glass Pumpkin Patch offered a different kind of harvest this autumn. A sea of vibrant handblown glass pumpkins in a wide variety of colors lined the courtyard at the Monroe County Courthouse on Saturday, offering families, friends and neighbors an opportunity to embrace local artistry.
