The Great Pumpkin Hunt | Lake Superior Art Glass

The Great Pumpkin Hunt

September 17, 2021

Join us for The Great Pumpkin Hunt, a scavenger hunt taking place throughout Duluth, MN on the Saturday of Halloween weekend!

 

Pumpkin 1) FOUND - Chambers Grove Park

Clue - This park originally was purchased by Rueben Carlton , who Carlton County is named after. This plot of land is the oldest settlement at the western end of Lake Superior and the oldest established community in the city of Duluth.

 

Pumpkin 2) FOUND - Gary New Duluth Veterans Memorial

Clue - For almost 70 years this spot has recognized our veterans who have served. With places to sit and think of them now you are sure to find a marble in this western spot. 

 

Pumpkin 3) FOUND - Blackmer Park

Clue- This park was gifted to the city of Duluth in 1933 by the United States Steel company.

 

Pumpkin 4) FOUND - Morgan Park

Clue - Originally designed in 1913. This area was referred to as model city and has since been renamed after U.S Steel’s Founder. 

 

Pumpkin 5) FOUND - Munger Landing

Clue - A trail also claims my namesake but I give access to the river and many use me. Starting next year I will be undergoing a massive cleanup to restore my waters! 

(Please drive slow when entering this site and we hope everyone is having fun!)

 

Pumpkin 6) FOUND - Riverside Park

Clue - I was founded in 1918 as a part of a company town for this shipbuilding company and was donated to the city in 1930.

 

Pumpkin 7) FOUND - Keene Creek Dog Park

Clue - This park opened in 2006 and is both human and canine friendly! This park has a creek where the pups can play and cool off! No need to cross a fence to find this pumpkin!

 

Pumpkin 8) FOUND - Highland gratchel trailhead

Clue - This pumpkin can be found along a popular trail that is over 300 miles long! At this trailhead you will have to cross a “bridge to nowhere” to find our pumpkin.

 

Pumpkin 9) FOUND - Piedmont park

Clue - This park serves an area that was acquired by Duluth in 1891. In the summer this park is a great spot for baseball but in the winter I am flooded with families skating!

Clue 2 - This park is in a neighborhood that is mostly suburban in character, with scenic views of the Duluth Harbor and the Saint Louis Bay. Miller Creek flows through at the eastern edge of the neighborhood.

 

Pumpkin 10) FOUND - Enger Park

Clue - In 1920 an anonymous donor donated $50 thousand dollars to purchase Grand Mountain, which eventually turned into this park. From this location you can over look the city of Duluth with a view of the lift bridge!

 

Pumpkin 11) FOUND - Duluth Heights park

Clue - This park serves an area that used to be a lake until the 1890’s when development drained this lake to create a neighborhood.

 

Pumpkin 12) FOUND - Grant park

Clue - This small park that features a playground and recreation center is near one of our elementary schools that is the home of the wolves!

 

Pumpkin 13) FOUND - Fairmount Park

Clue - The 13th Pumpkin has already been found at Fairmount Park! Thank you to everyone who participated today! We hope you enjoyed and have a safe and fun Halloween!

This is a COSTUMED event! All kids participating can send us a photo of their costume for a mini online costume contest!

Win an extra prize for posing in costume with our SECRET SPY DOG.

Please limit yourself to one pumpkin per child/person. We are hiding 13 pumpkin kisses, so please allow everyone to share in on the fun.

          National Marble Day Hunts 2021

          May 24, 2021

          WHAT: A scavenger hunt around Canal Park and the Lake Walk in Duluth, MN where we will be hiding almost $600 worth of marbles! Clues will be announced throughout the day on our website and social media. We will have a teaser hunt for a marble on May 29th (Which is also our 9th Anniversary!) and June 26th to kick off our big marble hunt on July 23rd. On July 23rd we will hide 15 marbles. If you find a marble and you post a photo of the marble and where you found it on Facebook or Instagram, you will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE FLAMEWORK CLASS.

          WHY: Dan, the owner of Lake Superior Art Glass, specializes in beautiful collectible marbles. Scavenger hunts on National Marble Day have been a tradition around the country. Thousands of artists are hiding beautiful marbles across the country that are worth real money. We wanted to share in this fun and celebrate marbles here in our hometown of Duluth, MN!

          WHEN: The scavenger hunt will take place on 3 dates.
          May 29th (1 marble hidden)
          June 26th (1 marble hidden)
          July 23rd (15 marbles hidden)

          One clue will be posted for each marble hidden.

          On July 23rd, clues will be released throughout the day for each marble. One clue will be released on social media and on our website every 45 min, starting at 8am. 2nd clue will be released on Saturday if needed.

          HOW: How do you participate? Just follow us and start looking for our teaser marbles: on May 29th, again on June 26th, and finally the big hunt on for July 23rd!

          July 23rd Marble Hunt Clues. 

           

          Clue #1 Your first marble can be found at a location that was once officially named "Garfield Park" in 1894. This name was changed to its current name in 1902. The marble can be found in a place where you can relax, eat, and watch your family play.
          FOUND

          Clue #2 The next marble is located at a river that according to local tradition, the Ojibwe called the river Busabikazibi, "river that flowers through a worn place in the rocks." You can find the marble where the two rivers flow into Lake Superior.
          FOUND

          Clue #3 The next marble can be found between 3-3.5 miles along the Lakewalk from Canal Park. This area has been known under many names, Flats or Ledges. Remember: Marble is not in the ground or in an area that will destroy vegetation.

          Second clue:
          Take a left as you get to the shore and search the rock crevices and piles as you go. No farther along then a football field

          FOUND

          Clue #4 Making your way back towards Canal Park, your next marble will be located towards the east end of the Lakewalk by a nice wood platform where you can sit and enjoy the lake surrounded by nice landscaped greenspace.
          FOUND 

          Clue #5 Continuing with our Lakewalk theme; your next marble can be found by a set of old concrete remains along the shore of Lake Superior.
          FOUND 

          Clue #6 Prepare yourself for a small hike up and down some hills to where the cars go under ground a second time. This marble is located along a path through the woods to the beach before you see any business overhead. 
          FOUND 

          Clue #7 Take a break and get a treat at the old gas station turned into a sweet cool treat icon. After getting your treat, come back down the stairs and enjoy it by the lake. This marble can be found somewhere nearby where you might rest your feet. 
          FOUND 

          Clue #8 
          You're almost to Canal Park at this point in our journey along the shore. The next marble can be found where you might cool yourself down on a hot summer day.
          FOUND 

          Clue #9: Get a good look at the new design of our featured trail, this next mable can be found across from a 1919 icon that used to carry sand and gravel to the shore.
          FOUND 

          Clue #10: We are now well and truly in Canal Park, you have traversed most of the Lakewalk on our hunt. The end of the trail is in sight and you can see for miles out into the Lake. Be courteous of other people enjoying the sights of ships, bridges, and anchors galore. Beware, if you're spotted in areas you shouldn’t be or damaging property you fortit the prize.

          FOUND 

          Clue #11 Turn around, turn around and wait for the signal to pass, you are now heading to the other side of the canal. To see what you can see from the south side of the canal.
          FOUND 

          Clue #12 This next adventure leads you back over the bridge to the other side of the bay. It rhymes with Lakewalk, but is not the iconic trail of our area. You can find this next marble along the route of the famous 5k race run here every year. But don’t go too far or cross any water as you will have gone right past it.
          FOUND 

          Clue #13 If you're lucky you can take a short cut across this foot bridge and along the boulevard to the where the Tall Ships moor when they are in town. Take a gander around the greenspace you might get lucky and find a treasure, but be careful not to fall in, no one needs the Coast Guard to show up to rescue you.
          FOUND
           
          Clue #14 Go with the flow behind the Aquarium to find your next marble. This one is enjoying a wonderful view of the bay, close enough to hear the music that occasionally plays, but far enough away that you don’t need ear plugs to enjoy it.

          Guest Artist Residency: Leckie Gassman | Lake Superior Art Glass

          Guest Artist Residency: Leckie Gassman

          February 12, 2021

          We are excited to invite our deeply respected friend, Leckie Gassman, to our Hot Shop studio to blow glass and showcase his work.

          Dates: March 1 - 21, 2021

          Artist Statement by Leckie:

          Leckie Gassman's Glassblowing skills visiting our Hot Shop at Lake Superior Art GlassWhile in college at Alfred University I began transitioning from the pottery studio where I worked alone to the captivating community of the glass studio. Together with glass and pottery, I also began using the wood lathe. By working all of these processes together they began to enlighten my understanding of each separately and ultimately enhanced my outlook of form, composition, and most importantly hand crafting materials as a whole. These experiences have deeply influenced my work and led me to work in a glass production setting for several years after college. After gaining an understanding of production and the hand skills that accompany I began traveling through residencies in order to pursue my own potential as an artist and maker.
