Dino Days 'Back to School' special set for Tuesday, Aug. 27

SHERMAN, Texas (August 21, 2013) —The Sherman Museum today announced that it will offer a special “Back to School” event showcasing its popular Dino Days exhibit on Tuesday, August 27, 2013. On August 27 only, the museum will open at 1:00 p.m. and extend its hours until 7:00 p.m. All persons attending on August 27 will enjoy a special “Back to School” half-price admission rate of $2.00 (6 years and up). Members, and children 5 years and under remain free. The exhibition of dinosaur fossils and castings is scheduled to end Friday, August 30.

“We want to give the kids, who are back in school, a chance to say goodbye to the Dinosaurs before they leave Texoma,” noted Museum Director Dan Steelman. “We are so fortunate to have this kind of exhibit in the region and want everyone to have a chance to see it. Hopefully, the extended hours and reduced rate will give them an opportunity to see 'BUCKY' the T.rex and the other dinos after school on Tuesday.”

In addition to the dinosaur skeletons and casts, visitors to DINO DAYS can view a 3-D Dino documentary and search for fossils in the DINO DIG.
This year’s DINO DAYS 2013 exhibit broke attendance records set by last year’s DINO DAYS event, making it the museum’s most successful exhibition in the last decade.

The museum’s regular operational hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum is located at 301 South Walnut Street in Sherman.
