On Oct. 2 and 3, the Los Gatos community welcomed back the annual Magical Glass Pumpkin Patch on the LGHS front lawn. Local glass artists displayed and sold more than a thousand hand blown glass pumpkins, in addition to other glass decor. A community tradition, local organizers have held the event annually since 2002, raising funds for both the artists and LGHS art programs. Community volunteers, including LGHS and Saratoga High School student volunteers, also helped run the event.
Artists featured: Shelly Monfort, Ken Mollenauer, Ken and Ingrid Hanson, Nick Leonoff, and Kevin Chong
