Experience a Three Night Adventure During MOSTHistory’s Summer Nights at the Museum
Summer event series to be held at 6:30 p.m. on June 13, July 11 and August 8, 2013
The Museum of South Texas History announces their third annual Summer Nights at the Museum will be held this year at 6:30 p.m. on June 13, July 11 and August 8. During the indoor three night event series the museum’s signature exhibition, Rio Grande Legacy, will come to life section by section, providing three different adventures in time for the whole family, a group outing or even a date night.
Each Summer Night will promptly kick off at 6:30 p.m. with a puppet show — popcorn included — that ties in to the spotlighted exhibition section. Guests will want to ensure they arrive early to get their snack before show time. Following the puppet show, children will receive a game card to begin playing FIND ME IF YOU CAN, a quest to find the character, artifact or image that inspired the puppet characters. Once completed, the game card can be entered into a drawing for a prize to be awarded at the end of each night. If the children play the game each month, they will not only have three chances to win but also a chance to win a grand prize at the conclusion of Summer Nights at the Museum.
When the sun goes down, the museum will come to life. While children are on their quest, that evening’s spotlighted exhibition section will come alive through costumed interpreters talking about and demonstrating their everyday life. For “kids” of all ages there will be many hands-on activities including flintknapping, La Tortillera and, back by popular demand, Atlatl target practice. One of the new activities this year, “Digging Up History,” is sure to bring out the inner archaeologist in everyone. Be sure to attend the entire Summer Nights series as each one is a different adventure.
