SUGAR LAND, Texas, Oct. 7, 2023 – As October begins, it’s not too early to start planning for
Halloween – don’t let the ghouls, zombies and vampires scare away the little ones though! Sugar Land

Temperatures may not be cooling off yet, but Sugar Land still welcomes the autumnal season with
Halloween activities for the whole family. Mayor Joe Zimmerman is looking forward to seeing families
enjoy the Halloween festivities this month, “October is such an exciting time in Sugar Land! Our city has

Hello Kristin,

With the Halloween season approaching, many families shy away from activities in their
communities due to the unsafe nature of the holiday, however Sugar Land, Texas has plenty of
family-friendly alternatives throughout the month of October.

I am hoping that you are interested in featuring the city of Sugar Land in Austin Travels
Magazine, highlighting family-friendly Halloween activities throughout the month of
October. I am sure that you are familiar with both the safety and variety in what Sugar Land
offers, as you reported on these factors in your September 2023 article, “The Perfect Long
Weekend in Sugar Land, Texas.”

As a talented writer who clearly has a passion for all things travel and Texas, you are just the
reporter that would excel in writing a feature on Sugar Land. Your publication, Austin Travels
Magazine, caught my eye due to the many family-oriented travel reports that are published. As
you experienced earlier in September, Sugar Land has the ability to captivate families through its
unique sense of community and perspective, making it a perfect city to report on in your
publication.

All the details of the news release are attached to this email. Please contact me if you are
interested in the feature and have any questions. I can be reached via cell, 832-362-4213, and
email, gmock@butler.edu.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your response.

Best,
