On the afternoon of Sunday, April 17th, the Friends of Old Sugar Land celebrated their 25th anniversary at the Live Oak Grill. Unfortunately, a plumbing problem at home meant I couldn't spend as much time with them as I'd hoped, but I enjoyed what I had at the celebration. Here are a few photos from the event. (Thanks Darren Acosta.)
