Face Carved In Stone
This Quincy style jack-o-lantern was carved from a 6,000 pound block of granite by local artist, Ed Monti. The 83-year-old granite sculptor surprised the city by placing this grinning piece onto city hall plaza for all to enjoy . . . and the best part is . . . it won't rot. Happy Halloween!
