I\u2019m constantly hearing from people who love what we\u2019re doing with Lubbock Lights, then add something like, \u201cYou know what would be good to also have \u2026 ?\u201d<\/p>\n

A community calendar is one of those ideas. Take a look.<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019re trying one for a month and would appreciate your feedback.<\/p>\n

The calendar is powered by a company using technology to scrape events from various sources in our community. That\u2019s nice, because I know from my decades in the newspaper business, it\u2019s a labor-intensive job that our tiny newsroom does not have time to do.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve given it to us for a month because they\u2019re doing a beta test on the connected advertising platform. A company can put an ad on the site and people can also spend a few dollars to boost their event on the calendar.<\/p>\n

Organizations can also fill out a form to propose an event, which we will review before approval.<\/p>\n

You can also subscribe to the calendar and get email updates about events.<\/p>\n

If y\u2019all like it, we\u2019ll keep it. We\u2019ll be using our Facebook page to do updates about the calendar and that\u2019s the best place to post your comments.<\/p>\n
