TL;DR - Dec Events List
Oops! Forgot to share this here as well!
So...you know how every month I whine and moan about the Events List, because it takes easily 4+ hours and a TON of digging, and when I'm done I have a blister on my pinkie from holding my phone?
Well - this month it took 10+ hours. 🤣 There are over FORTY EVENTS on Dec 13th ALONE...🤯 Yeah - this month's blister is a sentient being.
I looked at the time just now and it's 4:44am. That's a good number. It reminds me that if even *one* person or family checks out this list, and ends up doing something new, and fun, and makes new memories, or possibly even a new friend? Or maybe just finds a way to be a little less lonely?
Then it's totally worth it.
Buuuut...I will totally accept donations as appreciation as well. 🤣🥰
Okay - here it is. If I missed something, you can mention it before 9am today - but I am not promising it will get in. There are only two places in town who actually email me their calendars for the next month by the 25th, like you are supposed to, lol.
And just a note - if your event is listed, but you wish you could share the details about it to get people more excited - consider advertising with us! We have rates for every budget.
Of course, the list will also be printed in the December issue of Bazooka Reloaded , which goes to print tomorrow, and will start being delivered on Tues. I could def use some help in that area. Hmu if you are interested!
Now - don't tell me there is nothing to do in this town!!!
