October is going to be a seriously exciting time at HMNS Sugar Land so I want to personally invite you to come and join in the festivities with us!

OUR FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!
OCTOBER 2ND 11am – 5pm
This time last year people from every department were working around the clock to get HMNS at Sugar Land ready for it’s October 3rd Grand Opening – and open we did! We are now 1 year old! In the past year we have had changing exhibits like Narnia the Exhibition, Bob Pack’s Birds, and now Robots the Interactive Exhibition.

We have also seen the creation of our weekly story time program, docent led tours, and Second Saturday family day program. So this Saturday October 2nd come join us for our first birthday party in conjunction with the Telfair Music Festival from 11-5. Hear good music, purchase yummy international foods, and party with us as we kick off another great year.

SECOND SATURDAY – SHIVER ME TIMBERS!
OCTOBER 9TH 10am – 2 pm
For this month’s Second Saturday event at HMNS-SL we will be learning all about Pirates to celebrate the opening of our newest traveling exhibition downtown Real Pirates. There will be face painting, story time, coloring stations, and arts and crafts! You can even go on a museum wide scavenger hunt to search for treasure! And we hgope that you will totally get into the fun and come dressed up as a pirate yourself! (Free with museum admission.)
