This calendar is an excellent opportunity for you to gain exposure and plan events that could possibly influence your attendance numbers. For an event to be considered for posting on the Community Events Calendar, an Event Information Form must be completed with signature for each event. You may also complete the Event Information Form on-line. The calendar is easily accessed on the City's website homepage, under the Quick Link "Community Events".
