But to be fair, they're often not notified beforehand of events.<br /><br />As for the article Shari read, they should have never printed it without getting the times and locations and being specific. The whole point of a local newspaper is "to tell the people what's going on". If they can't do that, they should close up shop.<br /><br />As for the website, we've had very similar experiences, and the folks who run the website should be embarrassed. It's. Not. That. Hard. To. Update. A. Website.<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />Glad you all had a good time!Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358496556865231547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-78930321359629878862012-03-10T13:20:35.661+00:002012-03-10T13:20:35.661+00:00Actually, when I first read the article I thought ...Actually, when I first read the article I thought it had passed. It was in Sunday's paper, and spoke of "Friday" and "Saturday" - no dates mentioned. But it wasn't written past tense, so I guessed that it *might* be the coming weekend.<br />When I looked at the official Pea Ridge website, it only listed a few of the events, but had no times or locations. I had to confirm the schedule through an independent history-buff website. I really think Friday's event was only publicized to the area schools.MamaOlivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917138266127672566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-26934416018449592222012-03-10T13:13:46.860+00:002012-03-10T13:13:46.860+00:00Don't you love newspapers that only give you e...Don't you love newspapers that only give you enough information to make something sound interesting, but not enough to actually get you to the event at the proper time and place? Further research needed.<br />Or the newspaper tells of an event just past - no chance at all to attend. On several occasions, I've scoured the previous days newspapers to see if I had missed the announcement of the event -- nary a mention of it!<br />End of soapbox speech. <br />Glad there was no fine for Bob. Good buy on the chicken. <br />mumsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
