MFAH Volunteers Needed

Sunday, November 15th, is the next Bayou Bend Family Day. Come and volunteer with us!

Family Days are usually every third Sunday of the month, September through May, rain or shine. Family Days are the perfect day to bring children to Bayou Bend, as the home and gardens are abuzz with excitement and activities, demonstrations, and performances. Best of all, admission is always free on Family Days!


This month´s theme is
Harvest Celebration. Celebrate the first and the many subsequent American harvest celebrations with traditional Native American performances, music, and storytelling. Find out about the dress and customs of the earliest European settlers before heading over to the craft table to make your own corncob doll or pine cone turkey!

Bayou Bend needs enthusiastic volunteers to help with the next Family Day. Volunteers assist small children with craft projects that are designed to correlate with the theme chosen for the afternoon. Volunteers are needed from
3:00-5:00 p.m.. Or, you can work both shifts! The first shift is from 1:00-3:00 p.m. If you are interested, please contact Sarah Castro at Bayou Bend at
scastro@mfah.org.
