Community Calendar FAQs

Q.   How can I list an event on the Shoofly Calendar?
A.   That’s easy.  Use the “Suggest Events” from the menu bar at the top of the Shoofly Calendar.  Simply fill out everything in the submission form - it'll only take a few minutes. You can even submit a photo (and please do!)

Q.   What kinds of events go on the Calendar?
A.    Anything to which the general public is invited.  Sales and restaurant specials aren't defined as events.  Also we list only activities physically occurring the Bay-Waveland area (and elsewhere in Hancock County as staff time permits) or events hosted by our Annual Sponsors.  We also reserve the right to reject events we deem inappropriate for a general audience.

Q.   Why only Hancock County?
A.   We have to draw a line somewhere! 

Q.   Is everything accurate?
A.    We sure try!  But keep in mind that sometimes organizers change details and don't let us know.  If you see a mistake, please contact events@bslshoofly.com.

Q.   How often is the calendar updated?
A.    The Shoofly Calendar is updated each Thursday.
