Title: The Great Pumpkin at the Corning Museum of Glass
Post by: valhalla on 20-Aug-09, 04:51:19 PM
 :spider:  I don't think that Suzanne has joined over here yet, so I'm going to post this.  We met up with Sue and hubby, Bob at the Corning Museum of Glass when we were in Watkins Glen 2 weeks ago.  Had a great time (pictures will follow sometime before the next century).  The CMoG is huge and it is easy to be put into overload - still great.  I bought a few glass pumpkins and she sent me the following because of that.   http://www.the-leader.com/news/x2145965462/CMoG-aims-for-world-s-biggest-pumpkin (http://www.the-leader.com/news/x2145965462/CMoG-aims-for-world-s-biggest-pumpkin)   :cat:

Janet,

I had talked to Sue just before you were coming to Watkins and she'd hoped you would make a stop to visit.  So glad that you did!  I lived in Corning for a couple years in the 60's and whenever anyone visited, we went for a tour of the glass works.  Haven't been there in years but would like to sometime soon.

Kris

Kris - we had a great time, but that place is huge!  The guys hit the overload and got a bit fussy - needed food, too.  A couple of days is needed to do the CMoG.  I loved the section with the American cut glass.  It is a good place to visit.  We had lunch at a local joint, so the guys were happy with "regular" food.  I will post pictures soon.
