We realized that as we were taking note of local events for our own staffing needs, we were compiling a pretty comprehensive event calendar for the City of Rockford. We love this community so much we thought we would try to assemble a "one stop" online spot for publicizing community events.
As we work on this project, we'd like to be able to include every event in Rockford. We're looking for input from civic organizations, church organizations, sports teams, school groups, etc. But, to do this well, we need your help.
If your group has an upcoming event, leave us a comment on this blog or send us an email to fuzzyredrobe@yahoo.com (We've got our developer working on a special calendar email address but in the meantime, our friend Cindy is happy to coordinate your event information)
We guarantee there will be some growing pains with this project so please bear with us as we work out the kinks, dot the "i's" and cross the "t's" We hope that in about 6 months, this calendar will be self-perpetuating. We are encouraging local groups to send us their event information and we'll use our social media channels to help spread the word.
It's a win/win for everyone. Keeping a thorough and accurate calendar lets us know how many people are likely to be in town on any given day and you have the power of the Corner Bar's social media reach to help publicize your event.**
**We will use some discretion. We couldn't possibly include every home jewelry or Tupperware party but we are interested in activities that involve the whole community.
