How to submit a community event for the weekend?
Our local charity is hosting a small bake sale next Saturday and we’re hoping to get it listed in the community calendar section. I’ve seen other groups get their events featured, but I’m not entirely sure which department handles those specific public announcements. Does anyone know the best email address to send the details to, or do I need to call the newsroom to get it approved?

Getting your event into the local calendar is one of the best ways to ensure a good turnout from the community, especially for non-profit groups. I was helping a friend with a similar project and used the contact info at https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/the-dispatch/customer-service.html to find the right department for submissions. They usually have a dedicated staff member who handles the "What's Happening" section, and as long as you provide the info a week in advance, they’re usually very happy to help promote local causes. It’s much more effective than just posting on social media.
