Pumpkin Patch 2007

Attended the MIT Glass Pumpkin Patch again on Saturday. Against my previous promises to only purchase one pumpkin this year (after a big splurge last year), I ended up with three. The nice thing was that this year there seemed to be a much higher ratio of affordable pumpkins (sub-$100), and the organizers (MIT GlassLab) did a much better job of policing the crazy hoarders - people who literally sleep overnight and bring shopping carts, then make a made dash into the sale area and scoop up all the small, reasonably priced pumpkins. This year a group of people must have scooped up almost 50 immediately, much to the ire of other shoppers/viewers. The head of the GlassLab had a long talk with them and many were returned to the field for others to have an opportunity.

Some choice photos from the event:
