Interactive calendars offer self-service publicity for community events

Do you or your organization, church or club have a community event that needs publicity?
Our recent expansion of the online presence for our weekly newspapers, Good News About Torrington, the Thomaston Express, The Granby News, The Avon News, The Canton News and The Simsbury News, makes it easier than ever to spread the word, and to a wider audience in Northwest Connecticut and the Farmington Valley.
Our new Web sites have an interactive, self-service community events calendar. All you have to do is CLICK HERE and enter all of the information for your event, including time, date, contact number and any details you want to provide. You can even upload a photo to go with it.
The service is completely free, and in the process of adding your event to our online calendar, the editors of The Register Citizen and our weekly newspapers will be notified automatically so they can include your event in upcoming print editions of our newspapers as well.
And if you are a fan of The Foothills Trader, you should know that it has a new Web site, too, and its own interactive calendar. CLICK HERE to submit events to the Foothills online calendar for an audience that extends from Salisbury to Watertown and from Sharon to Simsbury.
